Today I was meant to figure out what the deal is with the male lead in my current work-in-progress (a xianxia-inspired fantasy with a Norse invasion) instead… I stumbled upon the inciting incident for a totally different novel.
*sigh* I can only blame the plot bunnies for taking shameless advantage of my magpie brain.
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’m loving Spotify’s Daylight playlist. It’s doing a kick arse job of anticipating what I like to listen to, particularly in the afternoon when I write. Here’s today’s writing soundtrack, it’s a nice little taste of the current work-in-progress.

It’s circled, so it’s important. There’s nothing wrong with it sticking out, but … 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.
