So I am having a problem with my brain where people ask me about the writing and I accidentally spill spoilers all over them. I think it’s because I’m writing synopses. It’s proving quite troublesome shifting from ‘give it to us straight, spoil the ending’ in writing a synopsis to ‘tell me how it’s going […]

Trying to write this series synopsis is making me itch to write the fourth book. Because there are things I don’t know — about how the structure is going to work, about how the subplots are going to break down… I mean, I know what happens in the largest sense, but that’s like saying I […]

A truly shocking number of people have indicated to me that they haven’t heard of, let alone seen, these one-shot accompaniments to the Avengers series. Being the magnanimous individual that I am, I thought I’d do something to rectify that. The first one, as the title suggests, is set during Thor. And it’s awesome (which the title does […]

So I’m about thirty thousand words into Wizards and I finally got to the scene fragment that started the whole thing. Finally.* I’m really glad now that I didn’t decide to start the book there. I don’t think the scene would have had the same resonance without the context you get from the what comes […]

I have concern. I’m afraid the climax of Wizards is going to come too soon. I’m afraid the first act, those first four hours, will be too short to be a book but if I add their second adventure it will be too long. And I have to account for the fact that it will […]

So yesterday, because my brain was stupid and apparently didn’t want me to write the argument that I was supposed to be writing, I rewrote the first chapter of Wizards into the third person. Just to see what it would look like. The answer is, the first half looks pretty good. Not so sure about the […]

In case any of you were wondering about this ‘Hunger Games’ thing you keep hearing about, here is a summary to save you having to read the book. (Although you should read the book too, it’s not bad. Apart from the bit at the <redacted>. You know?) Extremely sensible summary. Here is an excerpt to get […]

Rick: What are you doing? Me: I’m insulting myself in text. Silence. Me: You’re just not going to touch that one, are you? Rick: You’re writing your blog for tomorrow? Me: …yes? Rick: It all makes sense. I have been in the middle of an explosion for like a week now. It’s making me edgy. […]

Me: What? This is my innocent face. Arkem: I think that’s the problem. Me: You find my innocent face suspicious. Arkem: Well, you never lapse into that expression by accident. Which means I have to wonder why you’re representing yourself as being particularly innocent at this moment. Me: You’re right. That is suspicious. If you […]

I’m beginning to get nervous about the length of Wizards. Not that it’s actually that long as of yet but… it’s like I’m drawing something and even though only a small section exists I can see the shape of what’s coming and… I’m afraid my theory of how much of the plot I am going […]
