This Can Only End One Way: Horrible Serial Murder

October 27, 2011 by

A couple of people have asked me where I draw the line between what I write for the world and what you only get if you knock on my door.* The answer is: not a lot of places? I mean, I’ve written a few posts that are essentially, ‘I am an idiot six different ways’, […]

Plan Life. God Laughs. God Rewrites Plan.

Things are not going the way I thought they would. The new parts of TRTH were supposed to be giving a voice to one character, and increasing the page space of a second. And then on Friday this other character just shouldered his way in and now there’s blood all over the place and he’s […]

Do I Need a Reason to Help a Pretty Girl in a Very Wet Dress?

So yesterday I was having an Alice vs. Alice moment. That is an Alice in Wonderland versus miniseries Alice moment. Basically because it seems deeply wrong to be comparing two movies and picking the one without Johnny Depp. Especially given that a large part of that decision is based on the character he played — […]

Making Your Suicidal Depression Work For You

So Ernest Hemingway suggests I hang myself. This strikes me as being on par with the school of thought that gave us: If at first you don’t succeed, call an airstrike. Still… I think he sort of has a point. Not that I think suicide is the answer. But it would give you something to […]

Lack of Sleep Leads to the Dark Side

September 15, 2011 by

Yesterday I kicked the freezer for the last time. Now only peas and ice are left in its depths. I’m feeling a bit conflicted about it. I mean, logically, it’s very old and I’m afraid one day it will burn the house down. The handle fell off several years ago and the drawers have been […]

Cleverly Disguised As Daleks

Yesterday was Doctor Who day (a.k.a. the day the new season comes back on the air) and I had to tiptoe around the internet to avoid getting any of the fangasm it was having on me *ahem* I mean, to avoid getting spoilered. I love that I know people in the internet world who get […]

Listen to the Voices

Me: Don’t listen to the voices. You know how that turns out. Arkem: Cake and parties? Me: No. That’s where blood in backstories comes from. Arkem: Oh. This is good advice. I give excellent advice. Like, Don’t and Panic. In the correct circumstances you should totally follow those. Same with the thing about the voices. […]

Delusions of Godhood

My brain is a little delinquent at the moment cause I’ve been doing that writing-from-breakfast-to-bedtime thing again this week. And I’ve developed this really fun headache, so maybe I should stop. On the other hand, yesterday I think the writing was at least in part avoiding the headache. For some reason when I’m lost in […]

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 […]

Infecting People With Fiction

Today I have the headache I didn’t have yesterday. My brain and I are bonding over the writing at the moment, but we’re not on the same page as far as sleep goes. But on the bright side the first thing I did this morning (after fetching juice and almost falling over in kitchen — […]
