Hello! It's been 50,000 years which is not because I'm dead or have lost all my fingers. I've been working really hard on my novel and it's taken up every spare moment I have. It's a 130k beast and it's not even finished yet so I'm trying to write and cut, write and cut. I … Continue reading We’ve got love power

Seyès lines
Which if my understanding of French pronunciation is correct, sounds a little teeny bit like "say your lines", albeit with a strange accent, and is therefore an excellent pun and I am hilarious. Except that I had to explain it so it isn't. This is a blog post with no personal stuff! Woot woot. OK … Continue reading Seyès lines
One in the coven
Followers of this blog (hello my lovelies) will have been informed by now of the indisputable fact that Nick Stewart is too talented and this is definitely because he is a witch who should be burned at the stake.

Who’s awesome? You’re awesome!
I have noticed that whenever someone says "I'm just saying what everyone else was thinking" there is a 100% watertight guarantee that I was not thinking that thing. I have probably never thought that thing. There is probably something very wrong with the person who thinks that thing. See also: "I tell it like it … Continue reading Who’s awesome? You’re awesome!
