Matt Smith’s Hair Should Get It’s Own On-Screen Credit

May 31, 2012 by

So for those of you who’ve been hanging out for the new season of Doctor Who… this probably isn’t going to satisfy. But if you’re paying attention in the first few seconds you’ll notice that it was written by ‘the children of Ashdene School’, which is interesting. I mean, how does a school go about […]

Slaughtering Your Word Children

May 29, 2012 by

There’s something amazingly cathartic about a final draft. It’s horrible and brilliant at the same time. Because it’s the end. It’s your last chance. So there’s no more avoiding things. There’s no more thinking, ‘well I’ll deal with that later’. That awkward piece of prose? That hiccup in the conversation? That transition that makes you […]

Progress. This is How You Make it. With a Machete.

I’ve started to make progress on the second Path book (TRTH) lately. Finally. Honestly, it’s been so close to being finished for so long that it’s a bit embarrassing it’s not done yet. The problem is that I decided to work through this draft in order. Which is really not the way I have ever […]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, BRAIN?

Wuffie: How’s the wordsmithery coming along? Me: This morning…? A work in progress. As in, I am progressing toward consciousness. I just grabbed a glass from beside the sink so I could take my tablet. I thought it was my juice glass, but I’m pretty sure that was liquor. I am finding that being sick […]

Biased Toward Bears

May 18, 2012 by

I read this book last Friday. It was very distressing. It’s called, We’re Going On A Bear Hunt (by Michael Rosen, illustrated by Helen Oxenbury). You know the song. Or maybe you don’t. This is an interpretation on the version you’re familiar with (if you’re familiar with it). But it’s still a pretty dopey song, […]

What We Do Every Night, Pinky…

I was reminded of this last night and it still makes me snicker. Possibly more so when I haven’t slept that much, but bah! I say to your eight o’ clock in the morning. You will have Orson Welles and you will have Pinky and the Brain and you will like it! The Orson Welles […]

The Writing Process in Pictures

Caris sent me this link on Friday and I snickered. Possibly more than was entirely reasonable, but I was a bit sleep deprived. Was. Am. Anyway. I think that my writing process is slightly more stream-lined though. It’s more like this: Then the cycle repeats. In the time I spent writing this post my brain helpfully pointed out […]

Why Must We Let Logic Rule Us, Anyway?

I just had this awesome dream, which would make a great story — except for the fact that it’s based on this kind of science that… isn’t. That and there were these major plot points that just don’t make sense to a waking mind. I woke up and got as far as, That was really… […]

Not Every Hero Can Introduce Himself: Hello, My Name is Inigo Montoya…*

May 3, 2012 by

I spent half an hour yesterday figuring out how to do something devious with one of my character’s names that is largely pointless, and will, in all likelihood, amuse only me. But it will amuse me continually whenever I’m working on this book. So I consider it time well spent. I spent ages figuring out […]
