Another Cog in the Murder Machine

I enjoy taking this song literally. Also, there’s  something about cheerleaders in gas masks that’s ineffably charming. They’re gonna clean up your looks With all the lies in the books To make a citizen out of you Because they sleep with a gun And keep an eye on you, son So they can watch all […]

We Are Not What You Think We Are

I do not remember my adolescence being like this. But I don’t know. Maybe I’m wrong. Teenage dreams in a teenage circus Running around like a clown on purpose Staring at emotion In the light of day I was running from the things that you’d say Like a magpie I live for glitter, not you […]

So I Accidentally… a Poem

September 5, 2013 by

So I’ve been going through my junk writing file. And partly because I wrote most of it while not fully conscious, and partly because I haven’t filed or tagged any of this stuff since some time in March, I’ve entirely forgotten writing most of what’s in there. Which is cool and weird and confusing. Cool […]

So I finished the book last week, as promised.* And I’m now in that annoying, fuzzy in-between time where I wait for a new set of readers to tell me I’m brilliant/an idiot/hilarious/funny in the head/tragically misguided as to my ability to string sentences together. Arkem: I could… but I have a book to read. […]

Seriously, Though. Tomorrow. Friday at the Latest. PROMISE.

I’m in the very final phase of this draft. At this point it really shouldn’t be called ‘editing’ it should be called ‘reading through and making sure I didn’t screw anything up when I was editing’. Apart from the occasional part where I’ve managed to delete a word from a sentence and I sort of […]

Reassurance and Validation: These Are the Things That Publishers Are Made of?

August 13, 2013 by

I spent four days last week at the SCBWI Summer Conference in LA (writers, agents and publishers, oh my). It’s a conference I always enjoy. In large part because it’s one of the only places I can stare at the twelve hundred people surrounding me and mutter, My people. (I mean, obviously, I could do […]
