My Interview with Brandon Sanderson

A 1-Page Something
I was asked to write this a while ago, and since it’s one of the weirdest things I’ve ever written (I have absolutely no idea what it means, if anything), I thought I’d post it here. *** In the cold, wet night, Claerice looked for the clues that would tell her who had killed her. The murder scene was an abandoned parking. She couldn’t remember ever being here, and that was strange. The open space, lit fitfully by the standing lamps, was about thirty feet by forty feet, and dust covered every surface, lying in a sixty-yea

A Quick Update :-)
One of my short stories, Bloodheat, has been published by the awesome Hagelrat over at the Un:Bound Blogzine! I was pretty damn chuffed about it (as you could all imagine)! Not only can you read Bloodheat (and let me know what you think, please), but there’s also plenty of other awesome fiction to be enjoyed. Click here for

Now, not too many characters, granted, but wayyy back )I’m talking like 4-5 years back) I made these lists, and when I read through them, things started happening. I had been working on a short story (I set aside my Dragon-story because I was falling asleep – yep, I know) and then I minimized the screen; the character list was sitting there, all innocent.

‘Angelsong’ ready to be edited
So, last night I finished another short story – Angelsong (working title, may change and all that). It’s a really short story, not even 3000 words, but I like it – hopefully I’ve managed to keep it focused and tight, and it definitely packs more of a punch than Bloodheat or Stalker, so I’m chuffed. I’ll stay away from it until Monday, then I’ll get back into it and start editing and changing and rewriting, fun fun fu
