I remain stuck on Woman in White. I can’t quite seem to see what comes next. Have I felt this way before? I think I did, both with Gamer and Demons & Battleskirts, I just can’t figure out how I resolved the issue. Although, with the other two, I think I had more of a … Read more
I got a personalised rejection letter with feedback for a short story I submitted to a mag, and I’m not sure I’m brave enough to read it.
I’ve been mentally cheating on my current WIP (Woman in White) with a new book idea. It’s a pretty fucking awesome idea and it entertains me during work hours. It doesn’t have a name yet, but it’s sexy and exciting and I really just love thinking about it. I don’t think about WiW, like… WiW … Read more
I’m looking at the reminder to write So Long and Thanks for all the Diamonds stuck to the bottom of my monitor and wondering, why am I hesitate to unleash this new Type Type Type method on an existing/half-finished work? What is it about TTT or an unfinished shorty that, dare I saw it, scares … Read more
In today’s bitch-space I feel zonked. Got home from work 40 minutes ago, fed horses, put bins out, contemplated what to do with the cat that hates my guts but nonetheless looks like she’s on her ninth life, and then rushed inside to start a SU&W session.

Bitch-space. What’s up for bitch-space today? I’m not sure. Don’t really have any questions/thoughts I want to work through re writing… Except as I was writing that, the white-board on my office door came to mind, with the little note “Novella challenge?”. It’s circled, so it’s important. There’s nothing wrong with it sticking out, but … Read more
Welcome back to bitch-space. I’m almost done with the Collected Edition and isn’t that a relief. A few details to mop up with the book, the website to polish off, a bunch of videos to record… lets not think about it. The book is just about done, I’ll be able to send it to the … Read more
Today’s bitch-space is brought to you courtesy of a very distracted mind. I got no idea today, too many things to do and my routine has been shot. I really want to write shit, edit Gamer, write Woman in White. I feel pulled in multiple directions, especially with the need to get Short Bits Collected … Read more
Bitch-space, shit is happening in bitch-space. I don’t know what shit, but it’s happening. This is the second time I started this tonight. But then a friend called and I got to gas-bagging. So, here I am, doing this an hour after I’d planned. Seems to the thing for today, plans not going to plan. … Read more
Mornings. I am not a morning person. I can get up early enough but that does not mean I am functional. Does not mean that I write better (or worse, for that matter) it just means… what does it mean? Means that my preferred time for writing is in the afternoon. I don’t like rushed … Read more
