How to Get Someone Else to Synopsise Your Work: A Study in Whining
May 2, 2013 by Kandace Mavrick
I just remembered I have to write a synopsis for Drink Me* in the next few days. So basically I’m whining and procrastinating and considering how to make lemon flavoured brownies. Honestly, this shouldn’t be that hard. It’s high-concept! The plot is very straight-forward! There are only two characters! Arkem: Drink Me is a rollicking […]
Redrafting Shouldn’t Feel So Much Like Wanting to Hit Past Me Up the Back of the Head
April 30, 2013 by Kandace Mavrick
Screw passive aggressive, my notes to self have ramped up to aggressive aggressive. My favourite piece of advice in my notes today? Cut this. Or change it to something… better.

I am this* close to finishing the first draft of Wizards. Which means I am writing at speed and to the exclusion of most other things, like sleeping, eating and interacting with other human beings. Rick: How’s it going? Me: Am awake. Writing. All other things in flux. Come to think of it, even consciousness […]
When You Relate to Your Characters a Little TOO Much…
February 19, 2013 by Kandace Mavrick
I’m trying to figure out the next section of Wizards. So far this has meant a certain amount of banging my head against the wall and then deciding I was right to start with and circling back to the beginning. At which point it becomes clear that I am wrong and… I have no idea […]
Why a Support Network is Crucial to a Writer
February 14, 2013 by Kandace Mavrick
Perspective! Writers tend to work on their own, in the dark, which can be at times crazy and lonely making.
