The Antagonistic Protagonist

I’m not talking about your average anti-hero here. I’m talking about the piece of shit, the walking garbage fire, the absolute train wreck who is somehow the main character or a main character of the thing you happen to be enjoying. There’s obviously some differences between the

Self Care and the Indie Artist’s Regime

TL;DR- I spent the entire weekend looking after myself and not producing content. Are you mad at me? I was sick. I managed to pick up whatever vile Lurgi seems to be doing the circuit these days, and it’s been my best friend and worst enemy for an

Culture, Scenery, and Little Details

History left its mark on place names. Victoria. Van Demons Land, then Tasmania. Queensland. New South Wales.

The Irresistible Lure of Plot Kittens

Most fanfic writers have a few ideas circling through the back-burners. Some get them on tap. But all fanfic writers would agree that the darn things just keep on breeding.

Murder Dollhouse

I Have a Hero

Yes, folks, I’m playing the long game with a book about empathy with autistic people. And it’s framed as a murder mystery. Go me.

He’s a cocksure up-and-coming detective who’s been sent to a department to find out what has THAT squad solving crimes at a higher rate. She’s a POC on the spectrum who builds detailed models of crime scenes that no longer exist. They fight crime.

Progress?

I have my email back. Yay. Which means I can field my rejections and hand out my supply of fucks-to-give for as long as they last and to whomsoever deserves them the most. I don’t have a lot, though. I give a fuck for my Primary Parental. I give

(Dis)Organised

I think there’s a reason why one of the cities in Hell is called Dis. It starts so many unpleasantnesses. Dispute, disarray, disability… and disorganised. [And let me make it clear here and now that having a disability is made extra unpleasant by all the abled people running around

Repairs in progress?

I asked my Beloved how the site fixing is going and they said it could well be done today! Spoiler alert – if it isn’t, tomorrow’s blog is going to be dipped in lava-hot snark. If it is… this may be the last entry you get for weeks on

Am I Doing it Wrong?

I’m working as hard as I can at making this Indie thing into a career. I’m sending manuscript samples off to potential agents. I’m doing a daily flash fiction to gain an audience base. I’ve recently started attempting to advertise my stuff on social media.

The Importance of Doing Nothing

Sometimes, you wind up doing nothing all day. And some days, that's just fantastic.

Bury Your Black Gays… Again and Again [Spoiler Warning]

It’s confirmed. Steven Moffat really likes killing black gays. And he likes it so much that he’s contrived a method of killing the same black gay over and over and over again.

Half a Wit to Spare

Half a Wit to Spare

I have possibly the world’s worst timing. Just seconds after deciding to run a WordPress and a Patreon, as well as all my other blogs… I also committed to some regular activity that has me busy off of my arse two days out of the week.
