First Person, Third Person, Or What in the World Am I Doing?

April 5, 2012 by

4

So yesterday, because my brain was stupid and apparently didn’t want me to write the argument that I was supposed to be writing, I rewrote the first chapter of Wizards into the third person. Just to see what it would look like. The answer is, the first half looks pretty good. Not so sure about the […]

Nothing to See Here. Moving Right Along.

I am having a problem with sucking. Much sucking today. And yesterday. Yesterday was awful. I wrote some things but I’m pretty sure they were dreadful. I don’t really want to look at them, I’m afraid I’ll be ashamed of myself. Editing never works when I’m in this mood because everything I’ve ever written seems […]

My Neurosis: Let Me Show You It

April 3, 2012 by

People seem to like Wizards better than Path. What’s with that? I’m trying to decide whether I should be offended on behalf of my first-born, or excited that my skills are improving. Is it just that it’s new and shiny? That there are more explosions?* Maybe I should just write it off as the people […]

Time to Submit

March 30, 2012 by

Today is Friday. Which is taking me a little bit by surprise as for some reason I spent most of last night and yesterday evening convinced today was going to be the weekend. But this is good. It means I have one more day to avoid making final decisions about what I’m going to submit […]

You Are in a Dark Room

March 28, 2012 by

Yesterday was… well. There was some stuff accomplished, some ‘the world is out to get me’, some starting again at the beginning, and a modicum of procrastinating in rebellion against frustration. I’ve decided I’d rather not circle that merry-go-round again, so I’ve decided to share my frustration with you. Don’t you feel special? I can’t decide if […]

Submission Requirements are to Insanity What Catnip is to Cats

March 26, 2012 by

I spent four months last year submitting stuff to agents, so I thought I had a handle on the submission process. There’s a bit of variation in requirements, but all along the same general theme. Turns out publishers are mental. To start with they seem to be split neatly between ‘you have to submit hardcopy’ […]

Stockholm Syndrome! Fun for You AND Your Dentist!

March 22, 2012 by

So the thing about dentists, okay, the thing is I like them. I’ll just… leave you with that one for a moment. Still with me? Okay. I know this is a bit of an outlier perspective, most people are somewhere around, Dentists are pain and repeating grinding argh.* And I’m more thinking, Dentists are fun […]

The Death and Rebirth of my Life/Work/Writing/Soul/Addiction

March 20, 2012 by

Okay, today, today I love Apple. I think they are brilliant and wondrous and shiny. Which is a big step up from yesterday where I wanted to hit them with something heavy. There’s a lesson here — the highs are never quite as atmospheric until you’ve crawled through the gutter. Or something. Cause see yesterday, […]

If I Don’t Write to Empty My Mind I Go Mad — Lord Byron

Rick: What are you doing? Me: I’m insulting myself in text. Silence. Me: You’re just not going to touch that one, are you? Rick: You’re writing your blog for tomorrow? Me: …yes? Rick: It all makes sense. I have been in the middle of an explosion for like a week now. It’s making me edgy. […]

I Have This Theory That All the Best Things in Life Are as Terrifying as They Are Brilliant. Love. Children. Freedom. Choices. Deep Fried Mars Bars.

I am innately cautious. I like to think things through. To consider the consequences. To make fully informed decisions, aware of the pros and cons and possible outcomes. I see a motorbike and I see the world blurring past at speed, I feel the hum of the motor through the warm metal between my legs, […]
