I Don’t Know What Gave You That Impression…

September 28, 2012 by

Me: There are three ideas that came together to call this book into being — Rick: Alcohol, wizards and explosions? Me: (laughing) No… This book is based around three things. The thing with the magic and the alcohol. The thing with the pirates. And this friendship. I’ve mentioned the magic (although I haven’t explained about […]

Flying Squid/Jellyfish Thing!

September 27, 2012 by

A few days ago a new XKCD comic was posted. This is not in any way unusual. But it has been drawn to my attention that many people did not obey the comic. This is sad. It’s title was click and drag, people. And I think that you should. How else will you find the flying squid/jellyfish […]

This is Why People Don’t Sleep at Night

A young girl is playing in her bedroom when she hears her mother call to her from the first floor kitchen. As she descends the staircase and strides down the passageway, hands emerge from a hall closet and pull her in while she’s passing by. When the girl’s eyes finally acclimate to the darkness, she […]

This is Not a Picture of a Cat (Dead or Alive)*

September 24, 2012 by

I don’t know what it is but I can’t spell when I’m asleep. Or, not can’t spell. I get words mixed up. Mostly homophones like ‘retch’ and ‘wretch’ and ‘through’ and ‘threw’. The sort of distinction that’s obvious, but that my unconscious mind is apparently incapable of making. It also happens if I’m composing and […]

Fuck Admin Stuff, Write the Damn Book

September 21, 2012 by

In the last eight writing days (read: all the writing days I’ve had since I got back as the other days were taken up with boring admin-ity crap and being weekends) I’ve written more than ten thousand words of Wizards. Or, to put it another way, a volume that represents a quarter of the current […]

Perspective is Everything

I am sick not sick. I am not dead fine. I am going to live through get so much writing done today. Just so we’re clear.    

Conspiracy of Microbes

I feel… unbalanced. Or Wizards does.* Partly this is because I just wrote three scenes from Gray’s P.O.V. in a row (I kept shifting to Jamie and then muttering ‘no’ and flipping it) but mostly I think, it’s because I’m sick. I’m still working (mostly) but I’ve lost my perspective. Yesterday I wrote the next […]

Will to Live Forecast

Sometimes I think it would be good to have a forecast like this. Sometimes I think it would just be depressing to know.

Productive Chaos

September 13, 2012 by

0

I am having a day of productiveness. I think. I think because today has sort of been about lining up dominos. When I knock them down we’ll see if I was building pretty patterns or chaos. But I think when they fall I’ll have the next one/two/three chapters of wizards sorted. I was supposed to […]

All of the Above

September 10, 2012 by

I like to fly. I do. But I also can’t sleep on planes. This is a problem because there is a point of exhaustion that you pass where reading gives you a headache and you’re too twitchy to sit still and listen to music and your travelling companion (if you have one) is sleeping and […]
