The trick is to keep blogging. Saturday, 23 March 2013. Stop whining and write. So, everyone who has ever read this blog knows that the reason it exists is to motivate me to keep writing and that's been working less well of late. I could make excuses and I'm sure everyone would be very understanding and say soothing kind words of encouragement, when what you really need to say to me is "Stop whining you lazy bitch and pick up a pen, for God's sake! I have a whole world of stories like that. I realised du...

The trick is to keep blogging. Saturday, 26 November 2011. That's a lot of words. It's November 26th, 1:25 as I write this and approximately fifteen minutes ago I hit 50,002 words in NaNoWriMo. For a few days before the start of November I thought I would never have this moment, that there was no way on earth that I would be able to write 50,000 words in one month, even with a week and a half off at the start. Can I finish a whole novel in a month? Let's see shall we. 30 Second To Mars. Stuff that comes ...

The trick is to keep blogging. Sunday, 9 September 2012. Feel the fear and pack a sword. In fifteen hours I will be boarding a plane with most of my immediate family and traveling literally half way across the world to a place which holds fifty percent of the worlds poisonous species. And I'm getting a little nervous. To read the rest of the series as soon as possible.) there might not actually be room in my bag for it unless I wanted to pay a luggage surcharge. The fear of the new. The fear of the u...

The trick is to keep blogging. Thursday, 8 November 2012. The other yellow brick road. I woke up in the middle of the night a few days ago and although I couldn't recall what I'd been dreaming about, the scent of Adelaide lingered in the air; a strange sweetness a little like jasmine, warm and with a tang of the sea. A very fun, very technicolor adventure of a dream. It has a lot to do with our perception of Australia as a hot barren place of orange earth and constant sunshine. We arrived in Adelaide...

http://thetrickistokeepblogging.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
The trick is to keep blogging. Wednesday, 7 August 2013. Above the shit and the piss. I'm currently working on something which is set in a small city, has time-traveling witches, ghosts, vampires and mediums. You would think I wouldn't have time to miss some of the characters from the first novel and a half I wrote. But I do and so I indulged in writing a scene which I probably won't come back to for at least a year. 8220;Lucielle. Get back onto the fucking roof.”. 8220;So why haven't you? She raised a h...

The trick is to keep blogging. Tuesday, 3 February 2015. Once darker than the night. 8220;Every star was once darker than the night, before it awoke.”. Dejan Stojanovic, The Sign and Its Children. In the city the stars are sometimes shy. Hiding behind clouds darker than pollution and unseen by eyes too blinded by tungsten and headlights. We look up and our hearts sink without a star to guide our paths even when we know exactly where we are going. There are places in the world where there is so little lig...

http://thetrickistokeepblogging.blogspot.com/2013/07/if-words-are-weapons-writers-are.html
The trick is to keep blogging. Sunday, 28 July 2013. If words are weapons, writers are assassins. Every story written is. Marks upon a page. The same marks,. So is it so hard to believe that there are words out there that can cut through all of our rational defenses, all the social programming, to our very cores? That there are words which make us totally vulnerable to suggestion, instruction and command? Max Barry knows this and that's why Lexicon is so good. But Lexicon is something different. Scream i...
