Posted on January 2, 2012 by

So this post is completely going to spoil the book Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, and it would really be a shame to read this book spoiled. It’s one of those types of stories. So do yourself a … Continue reading →

I didn’t like The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.

Posted on September 21, 2011 by

Oh dear. I’ve just lost quite a bit of my blog readership, haven’t I? And by that I mean all. Because I think about ninety-eight percent of people think that book is amazingly poignant and heartrending, and while I’m not … Continue reading →

Posted on September 17, 2011 by

Guyliner and other unfortunate ideas.

Posted on August 26, 2011 by

Posted on August 21, 2011 by

So today I’ve been participating in a debate (read: rant-fest) on the NaNoWriMo website in response to this article. Which is pretty old news in the YA world, but I hadn’t heard it before. So, can I just say that … Continue reading →

The only worthwhile people are the ones who love and respect school, you freak.

Posted on August 6, 2011 by

Firstly: Who thought up this crazy schedule? First a month of writing like crazy every day, with the grand finale of a week of 5,000 per night. And then it’s off the camp where I completely reverse my sleep schedule … Continue reading →

A note about writing those secretly-evil utopia stories.

Posted on July 18, 2011 by

You know the ones. They pop up in YA and middle-school fiction quite a lot, although adult stuff isn’t completely safe either. The world has crumbled due to the past generation’s evil flaws, and a new shining society has popped … Continue reading →
