The Dark Side is a Choice

February 8, 2012 by

0

While I was wrestling with yet another version of a synopsis for Path the other day (this one encapsulating the series as a whole rather than just the first book) I realised there’s a recurring narrative element I hadn’t been fully aware of previously. It’s about the different flavours of dark side you can go. […]

My Brilliance, Let Me Show You It

January 13, 2012 by

I am lying on the floor, staring up at the ceiling, thinking about things. Deep important things. (And only a little bit about alcohol and explosions.) I just figured out that in the two weeks I took off over the new year I accidentally wrote fifteen thousand words of various things. Which makes me feel […]

Less Action HERO, More Action Hello-Did-I-Set-That-On-Fire?

January 10, 2012 by

When I started writing Wizards I spent some time trying to figure out what sort of genre it fit into. I mean, okay, it’s science fiction, borderline fantasy but I needed to know more specifically than that. Because — wizards, okay? But we’re not talking epic fantasy wizards. There’s no great quest or universal do-what […]

And Then Sometimes a Plane Falls Out of the Sky

December 16, 2011 by

I just wrote a synopsis that gives away so much of the plot I feel like I spoilered myself. I am, apparently, never getting this right. At least it doesn’t sound idiotic. And actually includes, you know, information about the plot. As long as you read ‘information’ as ‘very little to do with the actual […]

This is a Blatant Lie*

Arkem: I feel like I’m getting tireder just sitting here with you. It’s like you’re projecting your exhaustion. Me: No. It’s the other way around. I’m leeching your consciousness. Eventually it’ll all be gone and then you’ll fall asleep and so will I. Unless Paul comes in here… I may or may not have spent […]

‘Twisted As All Fuckery’ is the Way It’s Labelled In My Head

December 1, 2011 by

So I have a program on the laptop that allows me to put sticky notes all over my desktop. I use them for all kinds of things, but there’s one in the bottom left corner that is just temporary storage for notes. I type stuff in there when I’m half asleep and I can’t be […]

It’s Not Just Doctor Who That Worships the British

October 24, 2011 by

So today I’ve decided to give the BBC all my love. Paul sat me down to watch the pilot of something last week over lunch and the BBC logo came up on the screen and I instantly went, Aw. And sat forward in my seat. Because I have expectations I do. Although I hadn’t realised […]

This is Not About Clowns

I have a new theory. Doctor Who doesn’t like humans, he likes the British. That’s why he spends so much time on Earth during this relatively short span of time. After a certain point in history, once they’re off parading around the galaxy, they’re just people. He prefers them when they’re still British. I really […]

You Say ‘Reckless’ Like it’s a Bad Thing

October 20, 2011 by

So if you made it through the madness of Tuesday’s post you’ll (maybe) have noticed the part where I realised that I’ve found I’m using the same vocabulary for magic and violence and sex in Wizards. Which… I didn’t totally intend but kind of makes sense? When I say I’m using the same vocabulary, I […]

How to Be Spoiler-Proof*

October 18, 2011 by

Was going to write about this stuff in paragraphs but… Can’t words. Head -> floor. So I present to you and episode of This Totally Made Sense at the Time, I Swear. Starring me and Arkem as… well, our regular rather ludicrous selves. Me: Tell me I don’t want to spoiler myself for the next […]
