My Neurosis: Let Me Show You It

April 3, 2012 by

0

People seem to like Wizards better than Path. What’s with that? I’m trying to decide whether I should be offended on behalf of my first-born, or excited that my skills are improving. Is it just that it’s new and shiny? That there are more explosions?* Maybe I should just write it off as the people […]

Time to Submit

March 30, 2012 by

1

Today is Friday. Which is taking me a little bit by surprise as for some reason I spent most of last night and yesterday evening convinced today was going to be the weekend. But this is good. It means I have one more day to avoid making final decisions about what I’m going to submit […]

You Are in a Dark Room

March 28, 2012 by

Yesterday was… well. There was some stuff accomplished, some ‘the world is out to get me’, some starting again at the beginning, and a modicum of procrastinating in rebellion against frustration. I’ve decided I’d rather not circle that merry-go-round again, so I’ve decided to share my frustration with you. Don’t you feel special? I can’t decide if […]

Submission Requirements are to Insanity What Catnip is to Cats

March 26, 2012 by

I spent four months last year submitting stuff to agents, so I thought I had a handle on the submission process. There’s a bit of variation in requirements, but all along the same general theme. Turns out publishers are mental. To start with they seem to be split neatly between ‘you have to submit hardcopy’ […]

The Death and Rebirth of my Life/Work/Writing/Soul/Addiction

March 20, 2012 by

Okay, today, today I love Apple. I think they are brilliant and wondrous and shiny. Which is a big step up from yesterday where I wanted to hit them with something heavy. There’s a lesson here — the highs are never quite as atmospheric until you’ve crawled through the gutter. Or something. Cause see yesterday, […]

Carpe Diem, Quan Minimum Credula Postero*

Me: I haven’t sent anything out this year because I’m crap. Arkem: I wouldn’t have put it that way — but yes. So I am doing that today. Or at least, lying about doing that today. But I think — I hope I’m not. And if I write this here perhaps the appalling fact that […]

If I Don’t Write to Empty My Mind I Go Mad — Lord Byron

Rick: What are you doing? Me: I’m insulting myself in text. Silence. Me: You’re just not going to touch that one, are you? Rick: You’re writing your blog for tomorrow? Me: …yes? Rick: It all makes sense. I have been in the middle of an explosion for like a week now. It’s making me edgy. […]

Make Everything Okay?

Game called on account of massive power outage. So instead of working I’m going to spend the day lying on my floor eating cookies. Or reading those paper things. What are they called? Books? If your day is throwing you as much as mine try clicking this link. It will make everything better. At least […]

This Juice is Deeply Conflicted and Will Leave You Feeling Vaguely Unsettled

March 12, 2012 by

THAT’S LIKE GOING TO THE SUPERMARKET AND SEEING YOUR FAVORITE AISLE OF JUICE, THEN ON ONE OF THE BOTTLES THE PRICE TAG SAYS “THIS IS THE WORST JUICE IN THE WORLD, IT HAS NO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND IT’S A WHORE.”   So I saw this, and skipping right over what I thought of its original […]

An Appeal to Anyone Experiencing Impending Parenthood

March 7, 2012 by

Arkem: Did you know that I’m leaving tomorrow? Me: That’s very sad. (Sad face. Thinks.) Don’t. Arkem: Well played. You are a master of strategy. I am going to tell you a story. It starts here: I am officially down by one Paul. At least in terms of geographical convenience. I took him to the […]
