Driving in Fog is Like Sleepwalking, You Never Know Quite Where You’ll End Up
August 30, 2012 by Kandace Mavrick
The view out our windscreen this morning. And then the truck ahead disappeared. It took me rather longer than I would like to be bothered by that. I think my survival instincts are on the fritz. This is probably because I am in desperate need of more sleep. Yes, I know, tired is my natural state […]
Look a Three Headed Monkey!
August 21, 2012 by Kandace Mavrick
Help! Am trapped in luxurious resort with terrible internet! I mean… no, seriously. There’s something very wrong here. One’s room should not come with a vacuum cleaner but without reliable internet. I have standards! I have… okay, well, I’m needy, all right? But you! You have real internet, right? Shiny, bright internet that let’s you […]
Paleolithic. I Looked It Up.
August 17, 2012 by Kandace Mavrick
Who says comics never teach you anything? Paleolithic. I have now learned as much from this single page as I have from certain exhibits in the four museums I’ve wandered through in the last few days. Although to be fair, some of those exhibits were entirely in Spanish…
Not Unpublished, “Pre-Published”
August 10, 2012 by Kandace Mavrick
Yesterday I finally escaped the acid flashback that was Disneyland and California’s hints that it might want to tremble into the sea, and I am now watching the lights of the Vegas strip come on like a neon sunrise. Looking back from here the SCBWI conference looks like it was a moment of delightful sanity. […]
Finishing the Book
July 26, 2012 by Kandace Mavrick
I know what you’re thinking, Didn’t she finish the book like three weeks ago? This is where the ‘for certain values of’ comes in.* I finished the complete new draft a few weeks ago. Yesterday I finished the rework-the-new-sections-to-make-sure-they-don’t-suck part. Now I’m doing the go-through-the-dear-god-how-many-change-notes-did-I-make? part. You may notice the slight level of panic in […]
Danger: Outside World Lies Beyond This Door
July 20, 2012 by Kandace Mavrick
So today — for certain values of ‘today’. No, you know what, screw this time zone thing. From now on ‘today’ means ‘any period of time since I last slept’ and ‘yesterday’ means ‘anything that happened at any point before that’. This may be an arbitrary measure of time but it should remain functional enough […]
What You Are Doing Can’t Be As Important As This*
July 19, 2012 by Kandace Mavrick
Me: I want you to appreciate that I did not call you at your 2am this morning. I almost did. And then I did math. I wasn’t sure about the math but it seemed like I should not do that. Also I probably would have just bibbled plaintively in your ear about being delayed at LAX. […]
Sleep is a Drug and I Want More
July 12, 2012 by Kandace Mavrick
Me: Would you remind me tomorrow to make a doctor’s appointment? Rick: I reminded you today. Me: Yes, but I was writing. So I was all la la la, go away. Rick: Oh doom. Me: Don’t do that. I was writing! You don’t interrupt writing for frivolous administrative pursuits. Rick: Like your health and well-being. […]
