This is the Age of Tricksters, Not Monsters

Warning: This is a long one, and a nerdy one, because as anyone who read ‘Wolf of the Sands’ knows, I love me a trickster, and today is the day the thoughts all came out. TLDR: it’s the winter solstice, it’s Hermes’s month, the world feels like it’s full of monsters right now, but itContinue reading “This is the Age of Tricksters, Not Monsters”

Immortals & Ink: Chapter Four

Chapter Four Arslan produced the vellum from a drawer in the low table, proving he was the kind of scholar who was always prepared. Alexis could see that it was of good quality, just like the ink and quill that came next. “Greek for the places,” Arslan said, taking up the pen. “Latin for theContinue reading “Immortals & Ink: Chapter Four”

Immortals & Ink: Chapter Three

Back again with this week’s hit of Alexis and Arslan! I’m working on a new blog post that’s an update on my WIP, as well as a longer, nerdier post that’s almost an essay at this point (probably will be later in the month) so expect to see those soon too. Feels kind of perfectContinue reading “Immortals & Ink: Chapter Three”

April Update #Iamdying

Greetings from crazy writer land, I am on the last 10-15k words of KINGDOM and I am super fried but trying to end strong. It has come together in a weird and wonderful way that I didn’t plan for but somehow works better. This always seems to happen, my writing structural plan more or lessContinue reading “April Update #Iamdying”

Bad writing day and advice- via Chuck Wendig

There are days when being a writer makes you feel like you are a Creator God, Designer of Worlds, Breaker and Maker of Destinies. But some characters, like man, are prone to do, they turn around and say, “Fuck you Creator God, I’m gonna do what I want!” and they destroy that perfectly structured PLANContinue reading “Bad writing day and advice- via Chuck Wendig”

I am a Writer right?

Chuck Wendig, the bearded writer guru and gnarly writer, published a great blog over on his kick ass blog Terrible Minds called ‘A Reminder Of What Makes A Real Writer’.  In it he makes this very true point: ‘There exists no one way to write any one thing, and as long as your writing has a starting point andContinue reading “I am a Writer right?”

Digital Abundance in Publishing isn’t killing Culture – It’s saving it

Note: This is an essay I wrote recently for my degree and even though it has a strong Australian Publishing focus I still thought I’d share. ‘Publishing finds itself in the midst of a “phase shift” from the scarcity model of print to a complex, new world of digital abundance,’ (Lichtenberg 2011) and it is this shiftContinue reading “Digital Abundance in Publishing isn’t killing Culture – It’s saving it”
