I’m taking a break from the inevitable madness that is settling in as everyday becomes a struggle for more words, any words. Is that a word? I must pounce on it and try to make it breed! Words words words words. Sorry, I seem to have drifted off there for a moment. But what tools …
I’m a flighty person, usually jumping from idea to idea without much consideration in between. These ideas usually run parallel to each other in my mind and sometimes it’s very easy to forget that the real world (particularly my own body) have needs that need to be filled as well. This is me normally. As … Continue reading
I’ve met so many different writers since I first started giving NaNoWriMo a go. In one month we all aim to create a 50,000 word novel in the single month of November and to heck with everything that gets left by the wayside! I know that many of my fellow novellers have their own methods … Continue reading
Rarely do so many loves of mine mesh together so perfectly as with the Monsieur Notebook collection. You want gloriously scented leather (what scent, you ask? Here’s the scent: leather), a great looking notebook and a splash of class to boot? It all comes in one neat little package thanks to these incredibly attractive writing books. … Continue reading
Hi, all! This is Shannon from Bound and Gagged, a blog dedicated to banned books and other censorship/intellectual freedom issues. I was asked to talk a little bit about banned books, censorship, and how it pertains to genre fiction and the Comics Code Authority. As some of you may know, this week (September 22-28) is … Continue reading
It has been a long-held belief of mine that reality is often stranger, scarier and more fascinating than fiction, most likely because everything in fiction is based somehow on reality. True creativity does not exist. That is not to say that people are not creative, far from it, but all of our collective creative efforts … Continue reading
The fact that humans can write things down is essentially a game changer. For the first time in the history of our blue planet, information and learning wouldn’t be lost upon death. Books are a spectacular invention and it’s been noted more than once that a well written book (fictional or otherwise) has the unique … Continue reading
The human figure is eight heads tall. At least, that is the artistic standard that a great many artists measure proportions by. The average person is more like 7½ heads. Your arm span should be the same length as your height, the corner of your mouth will line up with your pupils, and the length … Continue reading
Well hello everyone. As the title suggests, there’s a new writer for Articulate and Intricate, one who plans to help out the owner and write (hopefully) interesting things for you all 🙂 I’m not going to say who, for I’m sure you can all guess, considering the author of this post isn’t the same as … Continue reading
I have an upcoming review of Stacia Kane’s Downside Ghost series on the cards but I’ve discovered that it’s become something of a beast of a post as I try to explain how I got the book at all. I try to keep my updates (relatively) short and sweet so I’ve decided to separate out … Continue reading
I recently moved to Cornwall, the tail end of the United Kingdom and a scary land that seems to mostly lack a viable 3G connection. For someone as involved with technology as I aim to be, this is somewhat frustrating, however I have recently managed to console myself with some lovely local craft suppliers and some … Continue reading
