Friday Bibliotek: Chapter Two.Three

“Wait. Graham. I need you. People died to get me that last bound, it was developed under an anonymous patronage, and it’s had a terribly high cost.” “Shit, Emlen.” Graham rounded on him. “Are you dealing with Ransoms? Tell me. I’m already on the run from the ninjas—hunters—whatever—and you’re wanting to get me involved with that? Forget ale, I need a gin.” Graham feared that word. But he didn’t really know what a Ransom was.

Who Says I Can’t Live In A Fantasy World? I Work In One…

I think my card game is trying to teach me something. Something along the lines of: winning at solitaire will not make an agent call me. I really need to disassociate the two things in my mind; otherwise the outlook is grim. Then again, maybe that’s just my currently pessimistic, gloom-flavoured interpretation. I have been […]

Swearing = Prayer?

I was thinking about that whole ‘don’t take the lord’s name in vain’ thing. And I’m not sure it makes sense to me. I mean, when someone says, ‘Oh my God’ or ‘Jesus Christ’ I guess they might just be using the phrases as random swear words, but the reason they’re used in those sort […]

“I was released after hours of questioning; but never actually cleared. It had been a pathetic, scattershot kind of accusation. They had nothing.

So, you know how I was having trouble figuring out the framing of the backstory? Apparently the way to solve this is to write more backstory from yet another time frame. (No, don’t ask me to explain how that helps. I don’t know how it helps.) And the backstory has a lot more blood in it […]

Why am I doing this? I’m asking myself this question… why put my entire work out for free, and even be considering self-epublishing? That isn’t something that many writers who want to be ‘taken seriously’ do. There are, of course, a number of high profile authors who have been doing just this, but too often […]

Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies

Since I finished the first book, sent out my queries and so on, you would be forgiven for assuming that I was now working on finishing off the second book. But as writing (at least when I do it) bears about as much resemblance to logic as most things in Wonderland, this is in fact […]

How NOT to Appeal to a Potential Agent (or Mate)

Paul thinks I should update you on my search for representation thing. I think this may be the first step on a descending spiral of madness and despair, but what do I know? So. On Friday an agent (one of those at the very top of my shortlist of favourites) asked to see a partial […]

<— Previous ~~~~~ Chapter Two “I seem to have misplaced a bound, you see.” The two of them squeezed through the hole, newly torn in the ‘crete of the vault wall, its steel joists raw as bare bond, and jagged as if a screen artifact of hi-res fire. Then they fell into the blank alleyway […]

So. Er. Some clarity. Or: A thing you ought to know (that may or may not make me appear more sane when babbling later on). If you know this already you can to skip this bit. Otherwise, this will function as a history lesson. I wrote The Path of the Monster as the creative component […]
