Book View Cafe

My new post is up at the Book View Cafe blog. Talking about structure, for all the world as though I understood it:

Every story has its inherent shape, the logic that holds it all together, the truths of character and worldbuilding and consequence. These are the familiar structures of our own lives: things happen because of what we do, because of who and what and where we are.

Etc.

Also, don't miss the opportunity to buy Dead of Light as an e-book! (If not many people do this, does that give it rarity value, like a book with a really small print-run?)

Ooh, that was odd

In which Chaz didn't want to eat his tea...

Sudden and total loss of appetite, this evening. Nothing unusual beforehand, and I don't have symptoms: just, I was working later than usual, and eventually went downstairs and cooked because it was dinner-time, and sat down with bowl of chicken-and-rice, and - nah. Not interested.

This never happens to me, unless I'm actively ill. Am a little baffled, to be honest. Okay, I had a tooth pulled, but that was yesterday; today it's not even bleeding, just sore. Okay, I'm on codeine, which can affect the appetite - but I haven't taken any since this morning, for I am a brave little soldier sometimes. So. Dunno.

We are now three hours later, and I'm still not hungry. I'm going to bed, with one eye cocked curiously towards the morning.
