    Turns out that there are just 70 copies of my book left! But a small reprint will be done to keep it in stock. I do love my publisher.

    I just wrote two funny sentences for my current story. Which is funny, given how unfunny – in fact, downright agonising – it has been trying to write this story. This isn’t really anything new – it seems to be how I compose, really. But the unfunniness has really been brought out by this particular project.

    Currently struggling with writing the ending of this story. Dolly Parton’s version of “I Will Always Love You” is my mournful soundtrack.

    Felt a bit stressed today about some forthcoming life changes… and yet I also did some of my best writing in ages. Morphing makes for good writing.

    Tonight, I turned into an angry Asian. Watch out, Ouyang Yu. I'm gonna steal your claim to fame.

    Just killed off a character. I don’t do that often. A water-skiing accident, if you must know.

    "I like Ike" is prob the most memorable rhyming political campaign slogan. I'm having problems finding good words that rhyme with "Tony".

    After I tweeted this, a fair few people gave me useful suggestions about what rhymes with Tony. ‘Phony’ was quite popular. I reckon the best of the lot was ‘baloney’ (thanks, kirsty_l). I also appreciated ‘macaroni’ (and various other pasta names) (thanks, Kill Your Darlings). Someone who will remain nameless (and perhaps shameless) was watching porn at the time she was tweeting, and her rhyme suggestion was quite unnecessary although very memorable.
