thanks marlowe. i look forward to your thoughts on it. how are alice and miles doing?
big: the writing in this is not experimental, thankfully. i had a 12-year-old girl and a 50-year-old mother read it and they both loved it. or if that scares you off even more, a few 20-somethings read and enjoyed it as well.

Well, I have an electric typewriter now (I used to have one when I was younger, back when I had a Spectrum 128k), but I've just moved so I'm still settling in. . . also, I have writer's block :\

Does the block truely belong to the writer?
I've always been able to write, ever since I was a child. I even learned joined up writing when I was 25

blame the season. i find i'm always too tired to get anything done during winter.
my only suggestion for writer's block is to just write anyway -- something, anything -- since it'll give you the taste for it again. i also enjoy reading interviews with my favourite authors to get me in the mood.

Lee, this damn block is well & truly mine :\
Prime: I am very much affected by the seasons and my energies are usually rock bottom during the dark months *grr*

I often find the best way to forget about writer's block is suicide. It certainly helped me.

if a book about a girl who can make things out of her dandruff isn't a blockbuster then i don't know what is.
thanks for ordering the book, guys. :D

the book is now available on amazon.com, which will probably be a much faster service for a lot of people.

awesome! thanks, big. if you already like the book then you shouldn't be disappointed with the rest of it.
i went on a trip to niagara falls over the weekend and was recognised for the first time ever, which was bizarre and very surprising. i gave the greyhound guy my name so he could put it on my ticket, and then he started hesitating and thinking about something. after a few seconds of wondering what was going on he suddenly blurted out in a whisper: 'excuse me, sir, but are you a published author?' i said 'oh, uh, yeah.' 'the dandruff book, right?' we talked about it for a little bit, and then he whispered 'so you're going to pay a smaller amount'. i spent the rest of the weekend with an unending grin on my face. it was definitely one of the coolest things to ever happen to me.
