October's Blog now up on the website! My cat is ecstatic to be advertising a rant about the treatment of people with mental health conditions, boots as storage, and emergency tissue supplies. To look as happy as she does, follow this link! www.janeayrie.com/blog

"You fantasy/SF writers don't have to do proper research. You just make stuff up." Yes. Of course. Just give me a minute to invent a couple of planets and a Dark Realm, and check they don't share a name with a litigious billionaire's mansion or kid.

After a period of dodgy physical and mental health, finally plucked up the courage to go back to the [expletive deleted] novel. Pleasantly surprised to find it's not QUITE as [expletive deleted] bad as I feared. Onwards and upwards.

Reaching out to the fellow scribbler whose writer's block has reached the point of throwing away the office furniture in despair. I feel your pain. Unless you've landed a big fat contract with a major publisher and can afford to get all new stuff. In which case, well done, no need to gloat.

I am in disgrace. I threw up on my human's coat and when she took it to the dry cleaners they charged an extra ten quid because it had cat hair on it, even though this was its first time out of the bag since the last cleaning. Here I will cower, until the human feels guilty and offers me Dreamies.
