Crappy Writer (Stewart) and Rosie: interviewing and in love

Volare Putkin is on her laptop in the corner, creating stories about Kate Girardi’s (Ella Stuart Cartwright) demise through openbook (the fictitious online journal).  She’s also updating her website (Sapphire Orifice) with hiatus news.
King Pin of the Sapphire Scripting Team is nowhere to be found.  He’s had “enoooo of interviewin’” Rosie Jones about ZOMG! The [...]

Volare Putkin, Crappy Writer and Me: Part 3

AKA:  The one after King Pin stormed out, and his understudy – Stewart (Crappy Writer) – assumed the interviewing role alongside Volare.
It happened between interview segments ~
After admitting that he read ZOMG! The Northern Fangirls, King Pin was confronted by his egocentric lover – publicist, Volare Putkin – and belittled.  King Pin had tried to [...]

Chewing the Fangirl Fat (how nice!) with Volare & King Pin: Part 2

Boston publicist, Volare Putkin and King Pin of the Sapphire Scripting team conducted an interview with Rosie Jones about the release of her third novel, ‘ZOMG!  The Northern Fangirls’.  The first part of the chaos can be found here.
Unbeknownst to them, Volare and King Pin are fictional characters appearing in the second book – a [...]

ZOMG! The Northern Fangirls Book Release

Hello readers, family and friends.
Yes, some people may fall into all of these categories, but this is a specific post to those who ‘read’ or pop in and out depending on the topic of the week.
Firstly, thanks for reading.  Secondly, thanks for reading regularly – if you do – or randomly, if you can be [...]

Human Writes

The man who once said ‘writing is the most fun you can have by yourself‘ is chatting about other things apart from writing lately.  Sadly.
Sir Terry Pratchett, author of the Discworld series, has been in the media speaking eloquently about the concept of assisted suicide.  Some people refer to it as ‘dying with dignity’, others [...]

Books, Blogs and Bliss

Even though I am a gadgetry harlot and would sell my soul for any item with the prefix i attached - iphone, ipod, ipad, isexybloke – nothing detracts from my adoration of a new book.
Brand new.  Spankingly firm and taunt of binding, wonderfully print-perfumed and creaseless and perfect.  Straight from the printer to the shipping container [...]

To Slush, With Love

Have you ever waded through slush?  According to northern hemisphere friends, there’s a fair chance they will be met by slush when they venture outside at the moment.
It’s a nasty image, isn’t it?  Then, slip on some nude pantyhose, pop on your best shoes as though you are going to meet someone special, only to [...]

You are the Twilight of my Life . . .

To say I’m reading the Twilight Saga to discover the ‘mystery’ of getting fiction published and widely-read is like a sex addict suggesting he/she is reading a porny mag for the articles.
It’s a nice sentiment.  It’s probably not true.
The Twilight phenomenon fascinates me on so many levels.  I have a ‘love-of-traditional-literature’ friend who adores Twilight but [...]

Apple of My I

The past few posts have been about writing.  Leading up to the self-publication of a third novel, the notion of penning fiction has been on my mind.  It’s funny that now the manuscript is with an editor, I’m ‘contemplating’ writing more than formulating a story – I suppose it’s a bit like navel gazing rather [...]

Do you wanna doctorate with that piece o’ fiction?

Recently, two of my learned writing friends at LiveJournal were discussing the place of higher echelon education in the background of ‘the writer’.
Some interesting conversation ensued and has had me thinking over the past couple of weeks – a process that’s really dangerous as my brain is often prone to wander about and seep through [...]
