LOTS of things happened last month, so much that I didn’t get it all out to you before the month was over. And as you can see from the title, football season is in full swing here (C’arn the Tigers!) so my household is replete with musty footy socks, dirty jerseys, and the smell of Dencorub. Coming-into-winter

I get up at six. It usually takes me about half an hour to come back to earth, from wherever I’ve been wandering at night, so in that time I make myself a cup of coffee and take a stroll through social media. If this was a writing day, I would then get into work:

Chris is our special guest in the hot seat for this month’s bookclub grilling – and not only did he rise to the challenge, concocting an amazing-sounding cocktail in honour of Clancy, but he dug through his archives to find (in draft form) some of the earliest words he wrote that made the book happen

Helloo again! We’ve returned today to continue our discussion of the DLT – Dreaded Love Triangle. Welcome back! Last post, I examined what a DLT actually comprises, and had a brief look at their history in literature (or at least, looked at a few examples of DLTs in literature from multiple genres and eras).

Another exciting month ahead, and we have another fantastic title on our list. This is one that I read a while back, but it was just so damn good, that I can’t wait to share it… It’s always an honour to announce new titles, and this month’s book was selected by Dave Burton, the author

Hello! Today, as you might’ve noticed from the title, I’m looking at a little thing that’s bugging me: I’m writing an in-depth examination of the Dreaded Love Triangle! (*cue scary music, the howls of the damned etc*) But Whyyy? you ask. Don’t we get enough of that crap in the YA we read? And

So I’ve decided I’m going to start writing a regular thing each month, where I give a brief update of what I’m working on and what I’m doing and events and so on. Sound all right to you? Yeah, it sounds all right to me, too. It’s actually kind of nice to be figuring out

Well, we’re at it again, picking the brains of our favourite authors. This month’s author in the hot seat is Dave Burton, the author of How to Be Happy, and he’s answered five slightly offbeat questions to give us some insight into his writing process (or at least, what his Writing Must-Haves consist of).
