Blog postBritish Medical Journal. Yeah, that one :O I’d always intended ‘Writewipe’ to be a blog about the bit between being a carer for a medically complex child and a writer. Instead, it tends to swing wildly between the two, for which I have zero apologies. This week in my mad rush to get seen as a writer (I’ve been at @reclamation2022 aka Eastercon, all weekend) I instead got seen as a carer. Sort of. Some rather clever and lovely ethics researchers have been looking into ways to get the message

Blog postBob The Alien – Image by Kevin Dooley (cc by 2.0) Bob: So Gareth, you’re a bit of a moving target to try and abduct. I mean I know the 2020’s is supposed to be mad, but I thought writers were meant to sit down and, y’know, write?
G : Life has been kind of hectic recently…
Bob: So what’s your writing setup like? Talk us through what’s at your desk?
G: I have a Mac desktop, and I write on MS Word. I’ve stuck with Word since the 1990s, mainly because it seems to be the p -
Blog postStarfire and Robin image by funkyrach01 on Fanpop.com I’ve been catching up on some TV of late and I’ve become quite taken with Titans (live action version, sorry I couldn’t find a TV fair use copy as both Robin and Starfire in it are *extremely hot*).
The whole theme of, your life has changed: who are you now? It has been hitting hard. I know I bang on about the life of a writer/carer on here a lot, but the whole theme of Robin, who thought their life would turn out different, needing -

Blog postBob The Alien – Image by Kevin Dooley (cc by 2.0) Bob: Sorry for startling you. You know since I’ve started studying writer types I’ve kind of become obsessed. Where *are* we?
Faith : Hi Bob! So we are in my writing room – watch out for the cats! They will ask you for food and I don’t think they can eat that purple stuff you’re snacking on. Oh, don’t worry about that strange rumbling noise, that’s purring. It means they like you!
So, my little writing room is in Edinburgh in -
Blog postBob The Alien – Image by Kevin Dooley (cc by 2.0) Bob: Well what an interesting specimen we’ve beamed up here. Who are you and why have you got a tail? Other humans don’t seem to.
Ida Keogh : Hi Bob! I’m Ida, creator of words, wrangler of precious metal and occasional mermaid. Thank you for having me. Tails are great, aren’t they? Other humans are missing out.
Bob: Is this mind probe thingy working? It tells me you’re another one of these writer types. What makes you want to -
Blog postBob The Alien – Image by Kevin Dooley A new series of author interviews carried out by visitor to Earth, Bob the Alien. This week we welcome Emily Inkpen.
Bob: Tell us a little about yourself Emily!
Emily Inkpen: Well, I’m a female human creature from a country called the UK. I’m in my thirties, and I live in a little Victorian house with another human creature, to whom I am bound by law.
Bob: I gather from my mind probe that you’re a writer. What does a writer day in -

Blog postDarkest, BSFA longlisted. But start from Dark if you want to read the series! I’m a bit overwhelmed if I’m honest, but my headline writer plug-in says awesome is a better word. Luckily I don’t let it write my books. So I’m on the longlist for 2021’s BSFA Awards. I feel super lucky and privileged to have gotten there. And kind of eclipsed by giants. This years list is a jaw-dropping who’s who of Sci-Fi, which means a) its a huge compliment to have gotten this far and b) I don’t stand a snowba

Blog postDouble Poke in the Eye, cc 2.0 Jorge Fraganillo Ok, ready? Truth One, the one that might get me a poke in the eye, especially from my writer friends.
I don’t get writer’s block. Ever.
It just doesn’t happen to me. When I’ve got a blank sheet of paper and enough elbow room in life, I can always find something to say. (If you know me, you will find this unsurprising.) It has been a gift in my writing life, I can literally pick up a pen if I get four and a half minutes and carr -

Blog postMy new Dark novella is out today. If you fancy Pirate Space Hobbits, I’m your man. Well, Ixxy’s your woman – female Folk – pirate person. I’ll come in again,
Ixxy wants an adventure. She lives with her loving family of River-folk, laundering clothes. It’s cosy—too cosy. She longs to explore, to live the stories she overhears when she’s hiding outside the bar. But then she hears a story she shouldn’t. A secret tale of treasure and mystery: the myth of The Net. And this story, River- -
Blog postWhile I’ve not felt well enough to write, here at Arvo H.Q we’ve been watching ‘Dark’. No, I didn’t get a surprise TV deal. [sad face] No, it’s nothing to do with me. It’s a German Sci-Fi timey-wimey thing on Netflix. Extremely, clever, thoughtful, beautiful, sexy, violent and exciting. We’ve been binging it back to back. I’d highly recommend it, bring your thinking brain! The whole thing of reading or following someone else’s story that’s been extremely well done, I find extremely therapeuti
