What are you working on right now? Are any of your books available for film / TV rights?

May 10, 2013

I'm currently working on a short story called "Simulacrum" which is set aboard a decrepit waste disposal station that uses a "disposable" workforce made of clones; naturally, things quickly go awry. Hope to have it ready in a couple of weeks, taking my time!

Have I issued the rights to any of my work? No; and I'm not sure how I'd go about doing so. However I'm not closing the door; I do feel I lack the presence and audience necessary to be remotely interesting to filmmakers. I do find myself imagining what the movie version of Colonisation would be like... :-D

What created our World?

The Big Bang. And the chain of events set into motion therein.

Why do you have such a high opinion of yourself when you are quite clearly socially challenged (particularly when it comes to women, although a lack of body confidence probably has something to do with that)?

September 08, 2014

lol, wtf?!

This question came across as pretty confrontational. I wouldn't say I have a high opinion of myself on a personal level; rather, I feel my work is Not Complete Shit and thus deserves a bigger airing than I feel it gets at the moment. I'd be intrigued as to know why you feel I'm thinking highly of myself?

I've actually had a history of feeling quite bad about myself (high school was very tough socially) and yeah, I'm indeed socially awkward; my introverted nature is certainly at play there. Mentioning "body confidence" and issues with women shows you're missing the point or don't really know me; sure, I suppose body confidence is a low-lying issue for me but not in regards to women as I'm actually asexual.

And I'm happy about that.

Intrigued as to who asked this as it's a pretty deep dissection by the looks of it. Bit saddened that whoever posted this doesn't seem to know me as well as I'd like.

Do you treat your body like a Temple or more like an Amusement Park?

September 07, 2014

More of an unkempt allotment, really.

Where do you find new music?

September 07, 2014

Spotify, and a few of awesome Twitter people who make great recommendations.

Do you believe that dreams can sometimes predict the future?

September 07, 2014

No. That's... that's just silly.

How many people do you consider your "best friends?"

September 07, 2014

A few. I don't really have "best friends" per se; though there are a few people I'd say I can talk more deeply to.

Yes, some of them are IRL and some are interweb people.

Could you live without a computer?

September 07, 2014

Probably, though my wrist would kill me.

(Because I'd have to write long-hand; get your mind out of the gutter!) :-P
