However, one of them was a graphic novel so incredible I wish itContinue reading “November Favourites | Soap & Glory | Joules | Lovelace & Babbage”

What’s my writing process?
A lot like this, mainly. With probably more eye rolling. I don’t have a routine, but I’m very picky about my working environment. The slightest excuse not to write and I won’t get anything done! I need chewing gum, a spreadsheet of my daily word counts on myWriteClub (to keep me accountable!) and lots and lots of music.Continue reading “What’s my writing process?”
What would I do with a time machine?
This blog post was originally posted at Teen Reader’s Diary. If I was given access to a time machine for a day, I wouldn’t be able to go to just one place. I’m too greedy. I’d have to go on a tour of history and the future, until I ran out of fuel or causedContinue reading “What would I do with a time machine?”
My favourite soulmate tropes
I don’t believe in soulmates in reality, but as a literary device they are one of my favourite tropes. The idea that your favourite character is only a moment away from bumping into their perfect partner is such an exciting incentive to keep reading. It adds an air of anticipatory delight through the whole bookContinue reading “My favourite soulmate tropes”
Why Hermione inspired me to write a flawed female lead
This essay was originally posted at Mugglenet. I don’t consider myself a Harry Potter fan. That doesn’t mean that I don’t love the series – because I really, really do. But I started reading it when I was six; at this point Harry Potter has been in my life so long that it would beContinue reading “Why Hermione inspired me to write a flawed female lead”

I got a book deal
[This post is imported from my old Livejournal account, where I blogged from 2007-2015.] So I keep meaning to write this entry, but I wanted to wait until it had sunk in a little more than just miscellaneous squealing, and somehow that delay turned into a month and I still haven’t even told you whatContinue reading “I got a book deal”
I got an agent
[This post is imported from my old Livejournal account, where I blogged from 2007-2015.] So in November 2010, I decided to do Nanowrimo!! It’s a great way to force yourself to do Writing without getting selfconscious about it, because there’s barely any time to reread it, let alone doubt its quality. So yeah I failed (IContinue reading “I got an agent”
