Take Me By the Tongue and I’ll Know You

I’ve already talked about this one a couple of times. If you’d like some alternative visuals try Sherlock or X-Men. Apparently an awful lot of people have the moves like Jagger… Playlist link here.  

I Wonder What Happens Next

Me: Tomorrow’s Monday! Rick: (flatly) I love you, bear. Me: I shouldn’t say that with so much glee? Rick: Yeah. It’s possible that I was a little more than reasonably excited about getting back to work this week. But come on, I knew it was going to be fun. I’ve been running through the last […]

Letter Composed During a Lull in the Fighting

April 8, 2013 by

I tell her I love her like not killing or ten minutes sleep beneath the low rooftop wall on which my rifle rests. I tell her in a letter that will stink, when she opens it, of bolt oil and burned powder and the things it says. I tell her how Pvt. Bartle says, offhand, […]

You’re a Criminal as Long as You’re Mine

This song is surprisingly apropos more than one of the relationships in Wizards.*   * Playlist link here because WordPress doesn’t want to play nice and link to it properly.  

Complete First Draft = Celebratory Jello Shots and Dancing on the Table

April 4, 2013 by

So I’m just now realising that I didn’t tell you I finished the book. I finished the book!* What now, you ask? Basking in the glory of the finished work? Anxiety spiral about whether it’s good enough? Celebratory jello shots and dancing on the table? The last one, definitely. Beyond that I decided to take […]

Drink Me

Me: So I’m trying to think of a title for my book. Arkem: Bob. Me: That’s the name of my car. Rick: Bruce. Me: You guys are useless. I am bad at titles. These guys are clearly worse. But honestly, ‘Bruce’ wouldn’t be that much more inappropriate than the working title it currently has. I […]

The Violent Ecstasy of the End Point

March 28, 2013 by

0

I am going through the end of the book so fast it’s a little disturbing. Partly because holding it all my head is starting to make me feel like I’ve got a zoetrope in there, but also because I’m so focused on it I’m not really connecting properly with the real world. Like, okay — […]

Writing. All Other Things in Flux.

March 26, 2013 by

I am this* close to finishing the first draft of Wizards. Which means I am writing at speed and to the exclusion of most other things, like sleeping, eating and interacting with other human beings. Rick: How’s it going? Me: Am awake. Writing. All other things in flux. Come to think of it, even consciousness […]

You Will Hear Thunder

March 25, 2013 by

You will hear thunder and remember me, And think: she wanted storms. The rim Of the sky will be the colour of hard crimson, And your heart, as it was then, will be on fire. That day in Moscow, it will all come true, when, for the last time, I take my leave, And hasten […]

Music to Soothe the Savage Wossname

March 21, 2013 by

In recent times (and not so recent times, let’s be honest) I have been asked (repeatedly because I keep forgetting to do it) to post about my writing playlists. Or possibly to simply post my playlists. One of those. This is me capitulating. (In two-part harmony… okay, not really.) So I figured what I’d do […]
