I’m Attempting to Get Scurvy and You’re Helping

So Rick has started to take retaliatory measures towards the fact that the sandman and I aren’t getting along. Tonight for instance he ran in, a good hour after he normally heads bedwards, yelled ‘Emergency Bedtime’, flipped the switch to plunge the world into darkness and lunged for the bedroom. And I was left in […]

What Happened to the Weekend? I Was USING That.

Jared*: I may or may not be marathoning MLP Me: bwahahaha. Although… given what I spent the weekend doing I should maybe not laugh. Jared: hahaha. What have you been doing? Me: Er… I refuse to answer on the grounds that I might incriminate myself? Suffice to say it has something to do with the […]

Am Going To Start Substituting Alcohol For Sleep

So apparently it is wizards in space. Well, wizard, anyway. I spent Friday with Paul fighting crime explaining my dreams to him, in a way that by the evening I had this whole world fleshed out in my mind and the characters and the… Every Damn Thing Except the Main Character’s Name, Apparently. And so […]

Rampaging Plot Monkeys

I don’t write my books linearly at the best of times. The fact that the first two books of this series operate in a strictly chronological fashion has nothing to do with the way I wrote them. I tend to write a scene here, a scene there, and then over time the spaces between them […]

Who Says I Can’t Live In A Fantasy World? I Work In One…

I think my card game is trying to teach me something. Something along the lines of: winning at solitaire will not make an agent call me. I really need to disassociate the two things in my mind; otherwise the outlook is grim. Then again, maybe that’s just my currently pessimistic, gloom-flavoured interpretation. I have been […]

Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies

Since I finished the first book, sent out my queries and so on, you would be forgiven for assuming that I was now working on finishing off the second book. But as writing (at least when I do it) bears about as much resemblance to logic as most things in Wonderland, this is in fact […]

The Tortured Artist’s Dilemma

Today: I woke up with a very special headache this morning. And as stabbing pain is not one of my favourite ways to start the day, I took some painkillers. They are new and different because the other boxes in the drawer were all empty. And apparently their drugs are not the same as the […]

The Jam Tomorrow of the Writing Game

I submitted my first batch of queries yesterday. Apparently I was supposed to tell people that. There. I’ve told. I didn’t say anything because it’s not time for celebration, it’s just the dawn of a widening chasm of hopelessness and despair *ahem* I mean, patient waiting period. There will be cautious optimism if one of […]

The End. The End. *dance*

In between writing query letters I’ve been writing a synopsis. Where ‘writing’ is composing a sentence and then thinking, ‘well, that’s stupid’, writing another and glaring at it, and then deleting both and starting again. Which is made worse by the fact that I’ve already done this once. But that was back when the first […]

Finished

I finished the book. Every time I say this to someone they look at me, kind of perplexed, and say something like, “You finish books all the time…” With their expression saying, Why is this suddenly news? And I say, “No, the one I’m writing.” And they say, “Oh.” But they don’t look much less […]
