This is How Books Happen

So this. Which claims some high schoolers like to soak gummi bears in vodka in order to get drunk in class. I’m not entirely sure how this appeared on my radar. Perhaps someone just wanted to share the weird. Perhaps someone thought bears + alcohol = kandace. Which… okay. But… Me: That’s crazy. I mean, […]

I’m Not Drunk, I Just Play Someone Who is On the Internet

Paul M said to me the other day that he rather wants one of those shirts that says, Please Do Not Ask Me About My Thesis because when they do he tends to start twitching and gibbering. Which I sympathise with. I remember with crystal clarity having my supervisor introduce me to a prominent theorist […]

The WWIDS Principle

I wrote about seven thousand words yesterday. Which is… moderately insane, but not in any way I want to argue about. My brain just switched on and said write. And I took the opportunity as offered. I don’t argue when the words come. I just crank the volume and hold the laptop close while it […]

These Entrails Are For Arkem (or, What Would You Call a REMARKABLY Drunk Wizard?)

So, I’m still wrestling with the names of the characters in Wizards, although now at least I have placeholder names that don’t cause massive cognitive dissonance. …hasn’t stopped me banging my head into the table when I try to talk about them to people though. It’s very hard to have a conversation about a character […]

So I’m writing this thing and I totally want people to read it. To find out if I am, in fact, brilliant. Or just humorously deluded. But when I think about actually showing what I’m working on to someone my brain goes, “Yes, but not yet… I need to do this thing first. And that […]

Throwing Up on Someone’s Shoes is a Great Way to Break the Ice

My brain seems to have taken the crazy juice. So I keep waking up every five minutes. Cue Rick banging his head against the mattress moaning, ‘Want. Sleep’. Which is, you know, hilarious. But still, not so good. Plus, it’s not like I don’t sympathise Me: Being able to sleep on the third day only […]

What Happened to the Weekend? I Was USING That.

Jared*: I may or may not be marathoning MLP Me: bwahahaha. Although… given what I spent the weekend doing I should maybe not laugh. Jared: hahaha. What have you been doing? Me: Er… I refuse to answer on the grounds that I might incriminate myself? Suffice to say it has something to do with the […]

Am Going To Start Substituting Alcohol For Sleep

So apparently it is wizards in space. Well, wizard, anyway. I spent Friday with Paul fighting crime explaining my dreams to him, in a way that by the evening I had this whole world fleshed out in my mind and the characters and the… Every Damn Thing Except the Main Character’s Name, Apparently. And so […]
