1/ Cannonballs were fired and my heart skipped a beat: not for the crack of ammunition but for the shapely thrust of her invitation to battle, and possibly a light lunch afterwards.

Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio had a budget of $35 million and every single character was moved one frame at a time by a human being. What the fuck are we even doing!!!!!!!

Highlight of ABC election coverage so far is the Brisbane correspondent just not being able to find any Liberal supporters on the ground

Accountability report: zero words, one Crowded House concert, many ideas percolating. #DecWritingChallenge

rohan @rohanbassett.com · 09/12/2024
Gym night, but still managed 360 words for #DecWritingChallenge. Terrible, terrible words, but momentum is building and I’m really excited about where this is all going.

900 words today, in which our hero accomplished nothing of what I was hoping but just continued to make everything worse. #DecWritingChallenge

Favourite exchange from tonight’s session, from the Write What You Know camp of writing advice: ‘Empress, I have no idea what she sees in you.’ ‘What?’ I ask, blinking. ‘Who?’

Let the accountability streak continue with another 600 words for #DecWritingChallenge 💪

rohan @rohanbassett.com · 06/12/2024
before anyone asks, these words are all perfect (because they exist, not because they are necessarily very good)

rohan @rohanbassett.com · 06/12/2024
3200 words so far today—not a typo!—taking us to the end of Chapter Two, in what is increasingly unlikely to end up a novella. I recommend not sleeping very well and taking the day off work. #DecWritingChallenge

390 words today. Gradual progress is better than no progress, and I’m enjoying the accountability … even though I picked the absolute worst month to start #DecWritingChallenge

YouTube Wrapped would be pretty amazing, though. “You spent 36hrs this year watching longform videos about 90s video games”

rohan @rohanbassett.com · 04/12/2024
Back on track with 592 words for #DecWritingChallenge, taking me to the close of chapter one. Tomorrow, with any luck, our hero is about to have a very disappointing day.

Going increasingly downhill with only 72 words of actual progress today, but I did finish a 200 word blurb. I’m calling this a fantasy murder mystery novella, and I suspect one of those words is an outright lie. #DecWritingChallenge

#DecWritingChallenge only managed 151 today, but words are words.

today’s weird trick to keep the words going: if you don’t know what your characters need to do next, have them wonder aloud what they should do. and then have it be breakfast.

Starting the #DecWritingChallenge with a tidy 660 words before dinner (and our hero on her way to breakfast).

the cover of choose your own adventure #71, Edward Packard’s Space Vampire, where the intrepid protagonists are facing off with the titular space vampire about to board their spaceship. he is backlit by the sun, and the frontmost hero has a stake at the ready.

it is wayyy too early to subject anyone else to these words but you’re definitely on the list of unfortunate souls I’d love to get early opinions and feedback from!

Suppose I should actually introduce myself! I’m a SFF author from Melbourne Aus who started out in the lit journal scene a lifetime ago and now working on my first novel, a fantasy heist in a ruined world. (I didn’t plan for it to be so topical.)

The northside equivalent must be Reservoir, I’m thinking. Anything other than Rezza is immediately suspect!

One book I’m really enjoying right now is Davinia Evan’s Notorious Sorcerer — I have no idea whose recommendation landed it on my TBR, but if it was one of your earlier recs, I’ll gladly take another. A book I dislike: I’ve tried twice but can’t get into The Archive Undying.
