When You’re Offline Nobody Can Hear You Scream
Yesterday I spent the day screaming incoherently at my computer. And saying: FOR SERIOUS? repeatedly. Basically, Pan and I had something of a disagreement. (Pan is my laptop, that I love to death and spend eighteen hours a day, or more, with. Those who tell you I sit around cuddling him when not actually using […]
New Plan: Same as the Old Plan: Only Different!
September 6, 2011 by Paul McLaughlan
Hi all. You may have noticed that I missed last Friday’s scheduled Icky Theory post (or not). That was actually because I was out of the state visiting a fine un-conference BookCamp hosted by IF:Book Australia (as a part of the Melbourne Writer’s Festival. May I also note that IF:Book and founder Bob Stein have been very […]
This Comes Under the Category: Science = Hilarious
September 6, 2011 by Kandace Mavrick
So according to this article I have gay fingers? And according to this one drinking could fuel me to previously unforeseen creative heights. And according to this one Fight Club’s Jack is really Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes. This comes under the category: science = hilarious. Along with ‘the cosmos tastes like raspberries and smells […]
Wanted: One (or More) Petty Villains, Willing to be Killed Out of Hand while Remaining Stoically Silent About Their Tragic Past
September 2, 2011 by Kandace Mavrick
“So who’s the bad guy?” “I can’t tell you.” “Why not?” “I haven’t written it yet.” I realised a few days ago that Wizards is missing a villain. I mean, I have a large epic-style villain for the universe type thing — you know, I know what the overall struggle should be. But I need […]
The WWIDS Principle
August 31, 2011 by Kandace Mavrick
I wrote about seven thousand words yesterday. Which is… moderately insane, but not in any way I want to argue about. My brain just switched on and said write. And I took the opportunity as offered. I don’t argue when the words come. I just crank the volume and hold the laptop close while it […]
Drinking, Flirting and Machiavellian Pizza
August 30, 2011 by Kandace Mavrick
I was going to tell you all about what I did today, but then I realised I’d already had that conversation. It went like this: <insert here clever and fiendish scheming that makes me look smarter than I am> Arkem: Dastardly 🙂 Me: Well, I am writing about Machiavelli again. It’s catching. Arkem: Machiavelli was […]
Bibliotek: Chapter Three.Three
August 29, 2011 by Paul McLaughlan
<— Previous ~~~~~ “How do you know, Man’?” Graham figured looking at the little guy was the thing to do: the other two men had turned to him. “Because they’ve logged in to the damn club under one of my own pseudonyms!” He turned his mobile around for them all to see. There was no […]
Listen to the Voices
August 27, 2011 by Kandace Mavrick
Me: Don’t listen to the voices. You know how that turns out. Arkem: Cake and parties? Me: No. That’s where blood in backstories comes from. Arkem: Oh. This is good advice. I give excellent advice. Like, Don’t and Panic. In the correct circumstances you should totally follow those. Same with the thing about the voices. […]
Delusions of Godhood
August 25, 2011 by Kandace Mavrick
My brain is a little delinquent at the moment cause I’ve been doing that writing-from-breakfast-to-bedtime thing again this week. And I’ve developed this really fun headache, so maybe I should stop. On the other hand, yesterday I think the writing was at least in part avoiding the headache. For some reason when I’m lost in […]
