Point? What Point?

On Tuesday a friend of mine came over in the morning and my housemate drugged her. (That’s a good thing. Don’t freak out.) And while she was unconscious I went out for several hours. I met a really nice chemist, helped Rick buy glasses, and fought crime… it was a good day. But by the […]

I Think I Just Set Something On Fire

November 22, 2011 by

I’m stuck. I know what happens next but the scene I’m writing feels… flat. Two dimensional. And it doesn’t lead in to the next thing. It just… stops. I feel like I’m dragging the words out by main force. Which is not my favourite way to write. The last few days it’s all been one […]

It’s Amazing What a Good Dinner Cupcakes Make

November 21, 2011 by

There is a cupcake in the kitchen with my name on it. Not literally. It does not have ‘Kandace’ written on it. Although I suppose I could fix that. A cupcake store opened about 500 metres from my house on the weekend. I probably would have forgotten about it’s grand opening but a friend emailed […]

Sometimes the World is Just Waiting for You to Notice

I just had an ‘Oh‘ moment. You know what they are. That second when you suddenly put two and two together and reach such a blindly obvious four you wonder how you could possibly not have noticed it before. There’s a storyline I’ve been playing around with in the back of my mind for a […]

This is a Public Service Announcement. This is Only a Test.

So it turns out my capacity to talk about myself, my writing, and stories in general is more or less infinite. Nobody is shocked. Well, me, a little. I never intended to write here this regularly.* It creates expectations. (That should be read in a deep and portentous voice: Expectaaa-tionss…!) I’d just started to wonder: […]

How to Be Spoiler-Proof*

October 18, 2011 by

Was going to write about this stuff in paragraphs but… Can’t words. Head -> floor. So I present to you and episode of This Totally Made Sense at the Time, I Swear. Starring me and Arkem as… well, our regular rather ludicrous selves. Me: Tell me I don’t want to spoiler myself for the next […]

In Retrospect, I Should Have Seen It Coming

Friday Was spent relating to a sociopath and questioning the limits of my self-control. And, you know, causing people to laugh at me. Me: …that’s normal, right? Arkem: Indeed Me: Oh good. I’m… not totally sure what constitutes normal right now. Arkem: Is it important? …. And shouldn’t you be working? Me: I am! I […]

If Any of You Are From the Future, Please Raise Your Hand

I really want a time machine right now. Then I could go into the future and find people who’ve read my books and rant at them about the way these stories are falling together in my brain without violently spoilering them. (Okay, yes, I could use a time machine for lots of other cool stuff […]

Time to Play WORKAHOLIC: YES OR NO?

October 11, 2011 by

Rick: How’s it going? Me: Um… realising I’m a workaholic? Rick: Heh. Worked out how far you are ahead? Me: Yeah. Rick: So what are you going to do with your enforced two months off? Me: Not! Rick: Pan-less? Me: Haven’t finished! Can’t! Words! Rick: (don’t explode) Me: Yeah. God. I started to think about […]

It’s K-A-N-D-A… Wait. Where Was I? A-N… Crap.

Is it wrong that I’ve started to think of query letters as rejection requests? Even receiving them requires more concentration than I really want to impart. I mean, I have to read them. And they’re electronic so I can’t even set them on fire or impale them on a spike or anything. Worse than that, […]
