It’s the Small Things

October 10, 2012 by

I honestly don’t know if this drives me crazy or if I really like it. My OCD tendencies are at war with my love of individualism and object anthropomorphisation. I think I like it. Right now it’s making me smile. I’ll take that.  

Anthropomorphisation: It’s a Life Choice

I am not sure why but I am instantly drawn to people who apologise to inanimate objects or treat robots like people.   A is a valid option.  

Flying Squid/Jellyfish Thing!

A few days ago a new XKCD comic was posted. This is not in any way unusual. But it has been drawn to my attention that many people did not obey the comic. This is sad. It’s title was click and drag, people. And I think that you should. How else will you find the flying squid/jellyfish […]

This is Not a Picture of a Cat (Dead or Alive)*

I don’t know what it is but I can’t spell when I’m asleep. Or, not can’t spell. I get words mixed up. Mostly homophones like ‘retch’ and ‘wretch’ and ‘through’ and ‘threw’. The sort of distinction that’s obvious, but that my unconscious mind is apparently incapable of making. It also happens if I’m composing and […]

Fuck Admin Stuff, Write the Damn Book

In the last eight writing days (read: all the writing days I’ve had since I got back as the other days were taken up with boring admin-ity crap and being weekends) I’ve written more than ten thousand words of Wizards. Or, to put it another way, a volume that represents a quarter of the current […]

I am sick not sick. I am not dead fine. I am going to live through get so much writing done today. Just so we’re clear.    

Books are Good in Bed

Also excellent when sick. Flat surface to line tablet up on so you can stare at them, depressed. Blunt object to beat yourself to death with. Frustration relief (if you don’t mind throwing them across the room). Distraction. Cure-all.

I feel… unbalanced. Or Wizards does.* Partly this is because I just wrote three scenes from Gray’s P.O.V. in a row (I kept shifting to Jamie and then muttering ‘no’ and flipping it) but mostly I think, it’s because I’m sick. I’m still working (mostly) but I’ve lost my perspective. Yesterday I wrote the next […]

Will to Live Forecast

Sometimes I think it would be good to have a forecast like this. Sometimes I think it would just be depressing to know.

Turns Out, Having Insomnia in the Middle of the Night is a Really Pointless Way to Spend Your Evening

So I was going to write something intelligent today. It was going to be filled with humour and quiet excitement and may even have included something profound. But as I did not really sleep last night I’m sort of squinting at my laptop trying to remember how words work. I don’t sleep through the night. […]
