Hiatus - News Incoming
I’ve been working on this blog for a while, and frankly, I’m surprised at how steady I’ve kept it. Over eighty blog posts now, and subscribers in the double digits, which genuinely surprises me, even if at least one of your number is made up by my mother (Hi, Mum! Love you!). Thank you all for reading, it means a lot.But having subscribers in the double digits means over ten people I may have…
Not writing related but...
How the fuck does my dog know it's cheese? I handle a hundred rattly packets in this kitchen a day, like, EVERYTHING comes in plastic it seems, but she only comes if it's cheese. Surely it can't just be a sense of smell thing? She never comes for the ham or the other deli meats that rattle and she loves those. The dog food has to actually hit the bowl before she comes for her dinner. But cheese? She recognises that rattle *like that* even though we don't buy the same brand grated cheese all the time. ...Now I gotta pay the cheese tax, damn it. #Yes I'm a little drunk #I just wanna sprinkle some cheese mix into my mouth without being judged by beady dog eyes #I don't wanna have to keep paying the cheese tax #I love my dog so much though, she's the cutest cutie to have ever patootied.
On the 26th of March, an erotica author was arrested because of a book she'd written. The nature of both the book and the arrest has led me to wonder: when does fantasy become harmful?
It is always important to keep expanding your vocabulary
Not because it gives you a wider range of words to use in your own writing. Not because it makes reading the classics and greats easier. Not even because it impresses your friends. But because doing that will help you figure out why Pokemon are named the way they are. #I only just learned the word "Dirge" and what it means #Skeledirge makes a whole lot more sense now #Don't judge me! When was the last time YOU heard someone use the word "Dirge" in common conversation lol
The Exorcism of Wayward Souls: Chapter Seven: Example Anecdotes and Analysis: The Welsh Farmhouse
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT Subject RG (Living): “Not much of a full story, but I think it’s interesting anyway. My family on my mum’s side lives in Wales, and at some point, they were getting their house fixed up and needed to spend some time in a shared farmhouse (they shared with a few other people). This came at about the same time as I would usually come home from uni for the holidays, so I came and…
Stephen King once said: "The road to hell is paved with adverbs". But are they truly that bad? Let's discuss!
Assholes, jerk-offs and villains - we seem to love them! But why? Does it make us bad people, or is there another reason? Let's talk about it!
#a total mystery #I think they do it on purpose
Writing Tip #39: US vs UK Humour - What's The Difference?
This is something I've been lingering about since I watched both versions of The Office. I think I finally have an idea as to what the difference is.
Hello, everyone! Welcome back to another writing tip blog! This one might be debatable, because of course, I have always been more familiar with the UK sense of humour than the US one, but I finally had an idea of how to put the difference into words. Of course, humour is subjective, and how to define it is probably even more so (leave a comment if you have different ideas!), but here are my…
Writing Tip #38: Can A Book Just Be Vibes? (Or, I HATE FINNEGAN'S WAKE SO MUCH, YOU GUYS - YOU HAVE NO IDEA!)
I've heard books described as "Just vibes", but can you write a book that way? Er, yes. But do you WANT to? Read on to find out!
Howdy! Sorry for missing a few blog posts, but it was my grand, golden year birthday, and my wonderful friends took up almost the entire week. Perhaps not much of an excuse, but… it’s what happened. But I’m back, so let’s jump right in! When I was learning to write, I was taught about the three largest elements of storytelling: worldbuilding, plot and character development. I’m sure others may…
I'm going to post this here and now because I may never be able to say these words in this order ever again: Crap, I think I've blown out my voice ranting about Finnegan's Wake.
The Exorcism of Wayward Souls: Chapter Three: "Paranormal Inspectors' Tools". "Physical Tools"
“The tools used for Paranormal Inspecting vary, but can mostly be separated into two categories: physical and chemical. Being the simpler of the two, we shall cover physical tools first.” Physical Tools For Self-Defence “The primary thing to cover is how and when physical tools may work against spectres – because of the nature of phantoms, they may not always be effective. One factor which…
Writing Tip #37: Kidnapping As A Plot Device - Is This Weird?
I've been thinking about kidnapping as a trope lately - it's one I've used many times, and it's one I've been asked to write by clients even more often. But... is this weird?
Hello, and welcome to the first writing tip of the new year! Let’s just get on with it, because I covered everything I wanted to in the last post, so if you’re interested in writing news, it’s one blog back. Just before I paused work for christmas, something hit me: I was writing three stories at the same time where the main character is kidnapped, and then later forms a close relationship with…
...Like a proper writer, I suppose
Hello, 2025! Thank You All, And What's In Store For This Year?
Happy 2025! Little update on the blog for the next year and thank you all for reading!
Happy 2025, my wonderful readers! I thought that I’d just give you all a little update on the future of this blog as we ease ourselves into the new year, and jump into your regularly scheduled ranting from next week onwards. There are some thoughts of what I plan to do in 2025, but the TL:DR of this blog post is thank you all for reading. I appreciate you all.2024 was a hell of a year when it…

What Makes Something A "Christmas" Story?: A Discussion
Hello there, and Merry Christmas! This one is just going to be a short, easy-going kind of post that’s more musing than it is any true analysis because… I’m tired. And my turkey’s getting cold. I call this one a discussion because I’m inviting commentary on it. Personally, I couldn’t say what does and doesn’t make a story a Christmas story, not for sure. It seems no one can.Some are fairly…
