Agents Are Visions, But Only Illusions, and Writers Have Nothing to Hide…

October 4, 2011 by

6

I really want to have an agent already. And weirdly not so much because it’s the next step in my career, toward publication and so on. At this point it’s mostly just because then I wouldn’t have to do more agent research or write any more query letters and I could just write. (We will […]

Denial Is My Friend

October 3, 2011 by

6

So I’m working on this section of RON (book three) and I thought I had a handle on it. But I don’t know. It’s tricky. The tone has to be just right, and I know where it should end but there’s this middle part where… I’m flailing. Mostly because the characters themselves are flailing… Which […]

Making Your Suicidal Depression Work For You

September 28, 2011 by

So Ernest Hemingway suggests I hang myself. This strikes me as being on par with the school of thought that gave us: If at first you don’t succeed, call an airstrike. Still… I think he sort of has a point. Not that I think suicide is the answer. But it would give you something to […]

Dreaming the Melodrama of the Teen Experience

I am trashed out of my skull. No, not with the alcohol. I am not drunk. Why do people keep asking me that? I am just… not on speaking terms with the sandman right now. I tried staying in bed thinking, Sleep now. Sleep is good. Sleep is my friend. We should all be friends […]

Draconian Vendettas and Cake

September 22, 2011 by

Me: My brain hates me today. It is a block of wood on top of my neck mocking me about my inability to form sentences. Wuffie: *head pets*. That’s no good on the block headiness! Or should that be headedness? Me: I don’t even know anymore. On the up side, if you don’t sleep at […]

Please Excuse My Screaming

So this. Yesterday my head was in the dark place so I was working on book three of Path (codename: RON) which is the dark place, pretty much. You may remember I was having trouble with the structure of the beginning, but you will (naturally) be happy to know I managed to sort it out […]

Calling Loyalty Into Question: Jelly, Hats, and Cookies

Yesterday Pan (my laptop) and I started the day in a state of uneasy truce. He would not explode and I would refrain from yelling at him. Given that’s the way things were before the recent madness I didn’t think I’d have any trouble holding up my side of the bargain. And then he had […]

When You’re Offline Nobody Can Hear You Scream

September 7, 2011 by

Yesterday I spent the day screaming incoherently at my computer. And saying: FOR SERIOUS? repeatedly. Basically, Pan and I had something of a disagreement. (Pan is my laptop, that I love to death and spend eighteen hours a day, or more, with. Those who tell you I sit around cuddling him when not actually using […]

PEW PEW Dragons?

August 22, 2011 by

So I faced down the rampaging plot monkeys and spent two whole days rearranging the scenes in the third book so that they bear even less resemblance to chronology but hopefully make more sense thematically. Or storyishly anyway. There should be a better word for that. Actually, there probably is and my brain just doesn’t […]

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

August 21, 2011 by

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 […]
