I really wish I had that spell in real life. A great many things in the universe seem like they might be able to be fixed if we tried turning everything off, waiting fifteen seconds and then turning it on again. At the very least it would be interesting to see if at the start of the universe there’s a loud BING and a picture that says ‘Intel Inside’.

That would answer a lot of my questions.

I am attempting to both sell the book I wrote and write another book. This has turned out to be quite difficult, not because selling a book is hard (although it is) or because finishing a major project makes you feel sad (although it can), but because writing a synopsis is a truly horrifying experience. It makes you confront every plotting error you made while writing the story, and by the time I finished my synopsis I felt like I had quite possibly written the worst thing since the Necronomicon.

If you read my third chapter backwards the stars will go out. I will probably omit that from my query letter.

I don’t have any recommendations this week, although I have to say this comic called Nameless by Grant Morrison looks really good if Lovecraftian horror is your thing. If anyone’s read it let me know what you thought in the comments.

Until next time everyone, may your enemies never be able to get rid of their body odor.
