It was such a delight to be on The Book Show on ABC Radio National celebrating Jane Austen's novel Persuasion, the original second chance romance.

Most near death experiences are pretty anticlimactic. We tend to think “faced down a gun wielding maniac”, but can’t really process the hugeness of “went to the dentist” or “finished a round of antibiotics”

But the point (there is a point) is, people fetishise the idea over the hard work of plotting and character development and research and internal consistency and just writing the fucker, because the Idea is the sparkly magic bit.

And this is what makes them put value in the AI prompt.

Look, I was trying to wash up and I dropped all the glasses into the sink laughing when @alicefraser.bsky.social described something as “basically a roomba with a moon-eyed teenage girl strapped to it” in the ad section of the current Realms Unknown podcast.

Damn you, Fraser. Luckily nothing broke

I am obsessed with being on peoples’ side through the creative process.

I just think having someone give a shit about what you’re working on can be the difference between something getting made or not.

That’s why I run my writers meetings & retreats and the NY reboot: building a gang of caring.

Someone just asked me “what’s the takeaway” from my book, A Passion For Passion, the most impossible question to answer.

I guess the underlying message is that silliness is worthwhile and funny things are fun to make funny, but I don’t really know how to put that into optimiser-tech-bro-speak.

Man, if I were any Australian institution, I’d be looking to vacuum up talent that’s in America right now or would have been aiming at America; reverse the brain drain.

@alicefraser.bsky.social "defang her venomous cooch," is the phrase I didn't know I needed to hear.

I’m starting to suspect that most truth hinted at in headlines isn’t actually as shocking as you’re saying it is.

The subgenre deep dive for this week’s @realmsunknown.bsky.social is Villain-as-hero.

@tpneenan.bsky.social is our guest and he just watched the new Predator movie where one of the ruthless murder-monsters is Our Cool Protagonist.

Let me know your favourite villain as hero texts!

Thoroughly enjoying the audiobook of @alicefraser.bsky.social 's A Passion for Passion - in particular wondering how many takes it took for Alice to get through some of the book blurbs without collapsing into giggles. Enough barely suppressed laughter to make this the definitive version for sure!
