Danger: Outside World Lies Beyond This Door

July 20, 2012 by

4

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

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. […]

Time Means Nothing, Never Will Again

I don’t have an ear infection. I don’t. Which is good as I’m getting on a fourteen hour flight today. But I did have one last week. Which made my doctor give me a disturbing number of tablets under the theory that, given the situation, ‘extreme prejudice’ was the approach to take. (Including saying, You […]

We Have So Much in Common

Merry: She eats like you do. Me: We have so much in common. Merry: Yeah. Me: Except she has the excuse of actually being six. Merry: Yeah. So I eat like a seven year old. In fact, you’ll get some quite persuasive arguments from people I know that it’s not just food choices I have […]

Warning: AFC, Possibly Weasels

July 13, 2012 by

So I’m going to be AFC (away from couch) for the next seven weeks. Which is both brilliant and worrying. I mean, what will my couch do without me? I am, however, taking my keyboard with me. I have wondered, from time to time, what it would be like to travel without my laptop (I’m […]

Sleep is a Drug and I Want More

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. […]

Why Writers Should Not Be Allowed to Fill in Forms

Me: I said, Tell me about your rooms that would fit three people. And the hotel website said, How about this one with one king bed? Arkem: 😛 Me: You have to give them props for the judgement-free approach. “Maybe the three of you only want one bed…” No assumptions. Arkem: It’s nice to have […]

I HATE THAT I NEED DEPRESSION TO FEEL LIKE MYSELF I DON’T KNOW LIFE WITHOUT IT COME ON, WHAT AM I EVEN DOING? IS HAPPINESS A GOOD THING? DEPRESSION FEELS LIKE A BEARHUG FROM A BEAR AND THE BEAR CAN’T SPEAK BUT ITS WARM, WET FUR SPEAKS AND IT SAYS, I LOVE YOU, I AM […]

Music to Depress the Savage Beast

July 9, 2012 by

So for reasons of… well, me being slightly confused at times, yesterday I was writing Path to the soundtrack I have for Wizards. On at least two occasions when I became aware of the commentary the music was making about what I was writing I giggled hard enough to dislodge my laptop, but a rather […]

This Is What Finished Looks Like*

July 5, 2012 by

So on… Monday? Was probably Monday. I finished the current draft of book two of Path. Which is brilliant because I have been so close for like two weeks, I kept making progress only to have the finish line move. Something would happen and I would have to rewrite something or there would be a […]
