Ah, yeah, that’s right, writing…
I’m having one of those “rebuild your process” kind of weeks where I remember how this writing thing actually works. That includes some long-delayed redrafting of Horn in an effort to produce an “other people can actually read this one” kind of draft. I’m back to remembering my issues with the first scene: so...

Random Thought for Today
By this time next week I’ll be all packed up and in the grip of an “oh-my-god-I-hate-flying” panic in preparation for my trip to Adelaide. Now I’m going to wander off and enjoy my final week of television before the cable is gone forever. I expect there will be far more regular posting once...

TV Tropes (Not the Website)
I’m feeling a little out of sorts today, which means it’s time for another dancing monkey post. This time courtesy of deepfishy (aka JJ Irwin) over on LJ: This may veer too close to writing, but: tropes you’re drawn to in tv shows or films. (For instance, for myself I get a lot of...

In the absence of context, I’m going with “really? Cool!”
So the nominations for the Australian Ditmar Awards have been released after a few weeks of my friends-list being packed with reminders to send in nominations and reminders about the 2008 works that are eligible. Unlike the Aurealis Awards, which I followed for years before I actually started writing SF, the Ditmars are something of...
