This entry is part 4 of 10 in the series Blogging From AtoZ 2022

I’m not entirely sure what I’m going to say in this post about books, because those people that know me also know it’s pretty much all I talk about outside of Ludosport and gaming and my family.I was going to share a cornucopia of ‘coming soon’, but then I got Covid (next post) and that kinda got scrapped. I’ve been struggling really, and it’s not a pleasant feeling. B for Books also links to N for Nanowrimo At the core of my writing, whether it’s clear or not, is a project called Nanowrimo. I write a lot during the three…

So, the new world order

Published by Kai on March 7, 2011

I discovered a couple of things this weekend – the first being I don’t like being out of control – meds haven’t changed how pressured I feel when things start dropping out-of-order. The second thing I discovered is I’m really freaking out about my dissertation – and with all my focus on trying to keep work flowing and keep up with all of my commitments, I’ve been pushing that to the back of my mind and going ‘la la la’. Not good given it’s due in just under 60 days and I’m only confident in about a fifth of it…

Pen Names aren’t cowardice

Published by Kai on January 12, 2011

Though the writing community has moved on somewhat on the subject of pen names, it’s hard not to feel that the community itself has elements that are a bit behind the times. What is a pen name? A pen name is, quite simply, when you use aliases to write under. For example, my real name is Donna. Everyone online knows me as ‘Kai’. Technically, I write everything under a pen name. While this can sometimes be acceptable (like using your middle name instead of your first name) some people still frown on it. But why? The main bulk of pen…

Writing 101

Published by Kai on January 5, 2011

Image via Wikipedia I’m a writer. I’ve been a writer for close to 28 years – since I was four in fact. I started off in fan fiction – writing stories based on the cartoons and programmes I watched, and the books I read. And then I moved to my own stuff – my first novel was called ‘Ascendant’ – and was the story of a spaceship which sat on the junction to the ends of everything. At 13, I was even really into exploring environments, and apparently, hard sci-fi because I wrote quite a detailed explanation of the convergence…

the writer and the story can be separate – NanoWrimo day 18

Published by Kai on November 18, 2009

I has a migraine, so, instead of being all wise, and clever and down to earth about the fact that I’m now at 55k (WOOOOO!), I thought I’d talk about something thats bothering me for about a dozen reasons right now. I’m writing three books – two are brand spanking new, as in I’ve only been talking about them or thinking about them, or even contemplating them for about two months, and one, Elliot’s, is a recurring rewrite. I might talk about them later too. Anyway, the two that are brand new are…troublesome in ways I never thought I’d get…

Nanowrimo day 0 (midnight 1st November)

Published by Kai on October 31, 2009

I’m so excited right now that I can’t sit still – I don’t usually get to start till around 1am on the 1st anyway, because I take care of all the last minute support, cheering and shoving that gets my region into full swing – from the people having cold feet, to those with writer’s cramp, I’m the voice that hopefully talks them into going from it anyway. I don’t get talked into it myself though – which is why this year, I’m doing my level best to be actually accountable. And here it is. First book is my alt-sci fi…
