In some ways, Wizards is ridiculously easy to write, because I could channel Gray’s voice on no sleep, typing upside down in a bathtub. Sarcasm and panic and trust issues are a cake walk. Of course, being funny on purpose or, you know, having a plot, occasionally require more thought.* I was about to say […]

Driving in Fog is Like Sleepwalking, You Never Know Quite Where You’ll End Up

The view out our windscreen this morning. And then the truck ahead disappeared. It took me rather longer than I would like to be bothered by that. I think my survival instincts are on the fritz. This is probably because I am in desperate need of more sleep. Yes, I know, tired is my natural state […]

Things I have learned in my travels: Peru’s flag bears a striking resemblance to the rainbow flag Rick can sense good coffee like some kind of bloodhound French people really do say ‘ooh la la’ Huayna Picchu is 360 metres higher than Machu Picchu See that peak behind the ruins? That’s Huayna Picchu. You have […]

Deepest, Darkest Peru

When I was a kid I thought Peru wasn’t a real place. I mean, Paddington Bear is from ‘deepest darkest Peru’ and he’s a character in a book. (Yes, I do know the difference between stories and real life. Mostly.) So when I was told Peru actually existed I was deeply dubious. This was like […]

Girls Versus Boys

I’m sort of a disaster at writing girls. Not that I can’t write them, I just… don’t. I think the default character in my head is male. It’s weird actually, because my head certainly doesn’t default when it comes to race* or sexuality**. Anyway. Boys. Maybe it’s because in my formative years (well, formative writing […]

Help! Am trapped in luxurious resort with terrible internet! I mean… no, seriously. There’s something very wrong here. One’s room should not come with a vacuum cleaner but without reliable internet. I have standards! I have… okay, well, I’m needy, all right? But you! You have real internet, right? Shiny, bright internet that let’s you […]

I’m Working On Instinct And Blind Faith Here

I just glanced at the proportions of Wizards, wondering how balanced I was being with my two main characters. As of right now there is less than a hundred words difference in the number of words I’ve written for each of them. My subconscious looking out for me again? I swear there are these huge […]

Things I did not expect from this holiday: hearing the Mad Hatter singing, “Moves Like Jagger”.    

This is Not a Pun*

New theory. Disney isn’t made of happiness or bluebirds or terrifyingly peppy smiles. It’s made of puns. All the puns came together and they formed Disneyland. And I was a leetle bit afraid. * I was going to pun. I was. I confess. But then, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I went […]
