Mmmm, why yes, my novel does ressemble a dog’s breakfast

So, this is what writing a novel looks like at my place at least.

Whiteboard with insane reminders about structure and what belongs where, periodic flashes of “OMG!”, and basic first principles to (hopefully) keep me on track.

On the Absence of the Writer

Yes, I know.

I never write.

 I never call.

It’s just not the same as it was and you may be thinking I no longer care.

I really *am* working

No, no, no, I really am working!

I finished off the latest collab with Lisa Hannett, Prohibition Blues, on Friday night (faeries, shoes, werewolves, bayous, tie-pins!). Then last night I finished off Sun Falls (talking head in a box). Today I am going to take a tilt at the novella Ragged Run (oh, too complicated), which follows on from

Surprise Squeeee

Twelfth Planet Press is continuing its series of podcasts, and tonight it’s the turn of Brisneyland by Night – my story in the Sprawl anthology. Read by the delightful Alex. It’s both weird and delightful to hear my work read out loud – normally it’s just me, talking to myself.
