Part two, of the ‘Favourite Writers’ and it’s my (M’s) turn. Like L wrote last week, favourites are hard. But before I think too much I always go with J.R.R. Tolkien. I read ‘The Lord of the Rings’ before I was ten and it fuelled my thirst for fantasy and other realms. While I like epic…Read more Our Favourite Writers – Part 2: M’s
Our Favourite Writers – Part 1: L’s
Also known as ‘how the hell did they gel enough to write together in the first place?’ (Which we will cover in a later post.) I (L) am a wide and eclectic reader, with a degree in literature. I essentially will read the side of a cereal packet if there isn’t anything else available. I…Read more Our Favourite Writers – Part 1: L’s
Feline Helpers
We decided to start keeping up with one of our resolutions, "to blog better", with a fun one. This is about our personal feline overlords (who are actually girls). As stated in our Twitter bio and About Us, we’re cat ladies. L is staff to Moo (see pic to the right). She is…Read more Feline Helpers
Resolutions, goals… it must be a New Year
2017 was a pretty good year writing wise. We went to conventions together for the first time (Edge-Lit, GollanczFest, Sledge-Lit) and we accumulated some great advice, specific and general. Now it's 2018 and we've decided to put up our 'resolutions' and goals (collaboration wise and individually). If we only achieve one or two of them,…Read more Resolutions, goals… it must be a New Year
The Edge-Lit Effect
So, this one will be slightly different, as normally we come at things from the angle of a shared brain. Not this time. On Saturday 15th July, we went to Edge-Lit Derby and Loz was indoctrinated into a new world. Michelle has already been to a few of these type of events, including GollanczFest 2016.…Read more The Edge-Lit Effect
Recently Read #01
We did mention in our last post (To Be Read or Not to Be Read) that we would start to add a few short, mid-month, posts to our blog titled 'Currently Reading' and 'Recently Read'. So here is our first one, courtesy of Loz. "Recently, I have read the ‘Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children Trilogy…Read more Recently Read #01
Camp NaNoWriMo
We know a lot of people take part in, and curse, stress over and cry about NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, which is both brilliant and terrible, writing 50,000 words in the 30 days of November. We have ‘won’ a few times, mostly by not sleeping very much. But, to us, winning doesn't matter,…Read more Camp NaNoWriMo
To Be Read or Not To Be Read
As every avid reader and book lover knows, there are many books in the world. Which, evidently leads to the ‘to be read’ (TBR) list. Or pile. Or shelf. Or… room? Both of us have a ridiculous amount of books, and a good percentage of them fall under TBR. But with each new shiny cover…Read more To Be Read or Not To Be Read
Mental Health and Writing
This may seem like a strange place to begin a new set of blog posts, but it feels important. I (Loz for this portion) have suffered from depression since, well as long as I can remember. But have had an official diagnosis of clinical depression for my entire adult life, resulting in very low moods…Read more Mental Health and Writing
A New Year, A New Look
So, blog. Yes, we’re trying again. I (Loz) would like to shoulder a lot of the blame for the radio silence in the last year, when a series of evil events outside of my control took most of my life away from me and drained every dreg of creativity. We didn’t even finish NanoWriMo, because…Read more A New Year, A New Look
