White Blank Page

January 23, 2012 by

0

I am suffering from a rather severe form of blank page syndrome right now. My laptop (the lamented Pan Narrans) is falling apart again. Gracefully, but dramatically. So I’m using my backup laptop, which, after the last Pan debacle is at least installed with a relatively current OS and the most important programs. But otherwise, […]

This is My Favourite Chapter

January 18, 2012 by

9

Over the holidays I spent possible an unreasonable amount of time reading something in the internet. Okay, many things. The internet is fun to play with when you can’t sleep and you can’t go for a run. But one thing in particular. A story that someone wrote last year, posting chapter by chapter as she […]

I Am a Drinker with Writing Problems

January 16, 2012 by

Whenever I post something on WordPress lately it tosses a quote at me along with a remark about how it thinks I’m doing, how long the post was and some pointed comments about how it would really like to be linked to every social networking site ever. I assume it does this to everyone, that […]

My Brilliance, Let Me Show You It

January 13, 2012 by

I am lying on the floor, staring up at the ceiling, thinking about things. Deep important things. (And only a little bit about alcohol and explosions.) I just figured out that in the two weeks I took off over the new year I accidentally wrote fifteen thousand words of various things. Which makes me feel […]

Planning a Heist (Why Talking to Convicts Might Be A Better Plan)

January 11, 2012 by

So I’m planning a heist. Or at least, I think I am. And no, this isn’t a confession regarding my criminal tendencies. This is just… I think Wizards has a heist in it. So heist. Which means heist research. Which means — okay, lots of reading stuff (and wishing woefully that there was a straightforward […]

I Might Have Accidentally Sold My Soul, But That Doesn’t Mean There’s No Room to Negotiate

January 9, 2012 by

It is like the ninth day of the year and I am already behind. This is ridiculous. (Certain people have said that in fact I am ridiculous and that ‘behind’ is a word I have created to define my own ludicrous theories about where I should be. It’s not that I disagree per se. I […]

Snark With Me (You Know You Want To)

January 3, 2012 by

12

Have you ever written something in an email or online and wished there was a way to make it perfectly clear that you were being sarcastic? It possibly says something about how close friends I am with sarcasm that I actually pine for a way to do this. And the thing is, there’s actually a punctuation […]

Support Your Local Zombie Apocalypse

December 30, 2011 by

0

I don’t know about you, but sometimes when I hear people planning for the inevitable zombie apocalypse I start to wonder if they’re looking forward to it. If that’s you, or, you know, you think your exercise routine needs a bit more of an adrenaline rush (or you enjoy framing your whole life as a […]

First official trailer for The Cabin in the Woods a.k.a. that horror thing written by Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard that they’ve been failing to release for years now. YEARS, people. Watch and… well, maybe not LOL cause… well, it’s a horror movie. But… you know… interesting.
