You could call this my "professional" blog - where I write about being a journalist, struggling to become a novelist, and at times the issues of being a gay author writing (sometimes) gay-themed fiction. I can't promise I'll always sta

Aye aye, Cap’n Tightpants.
Yes, more Firefly references. Blame a friend who keeps getting it stuck in my head. A while ago I took down the sample excerpts from various stories in progress. I read through them, and they were godawful (mostly old stuff, and unedited sections f...
Wiki wiki wiki.
[Please pardon any typos; I’m writing this on the Eee PC over breakfast at Chacho’s, and this keyboard is smaller than the span of one hand.] First, for those of you who wandered over here from DR: http://www.darksiderainbow.net/just-a-li...
“It’ll still be there. ….waiting.”
Yeah, um…just…don’t ask. Why is it always in the final stages of writing a novel that it takes hours just to peck out one paragraph?...
…I’m the…Queen…of Hip-Pop? Wait a second, Namie…
One thing that my work makes me realize is that the majority of Americans are terrifyingly incompetent with the English language, and what words they do use well turn out to be meaningless artificial constructions with little actual substance to them...

Hello - how do I reach you?
So. Quit Call Centre Gig. Was very polite about it, thanked Old!Supervisor. Was summarily brushed off. Too overjoyed to care. Hair all gone. Cut it off. Look like I’m trying out for a role in a J-Drama, with wisps and spikes gelled everywh...
That thing you do.
You know, I’ve noticed an interesting number of people starting to drift over here from Darkside Rainbow. Not just Amy, but a few other regulars whose IP addresses have become familiar on various site stats. It kind of amuses me, as I think t...
Hee.
Oh, man. Submarine basaltic lava tubes along the mid-Atlantic ridge. Pressure up to 16,000 pounds per square inch. Genetically modified Hydrophis spiralis engineered to filter oxygen from water through their skin rather than gills, capable of with...
