So: Justice League.
Yes. Hmmm. Well.

I've seen it.

Here's the thing. It was not a train-wreck of a movie. It was better than Batman v Superman, which made me actually angry to watch. It was even, I dare say, better than Suicide Squad, although that's a bit unfair since SS had Jared Leto in it, and that deserves at least one star out of sympathy. I enjoyed most of League. I truly did.
​
As an ensemble movie, a strange-bedfellows, disparate-comrades, multi-skilled-adventuring-party movie, it had a lot going for it. Each character had their own development arc, even if sometimes clumsily handled. We finally get more than a brief glimpse of an on-screen Flash (who was great), we finally get a worthy Aquaman. Wonder Woman still wears wedge heels as armour and some of the Amazons had leather bras and for those reasons alone I want to punch Zack Snyder in the face, but...

For a writer, not feeling able to write is a small type of hell.

Insert quotes about "amateurs wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get on and do it" (Stephen King, more or less). 

There are things we do: Edit, clean the house, take notes for things we think of even though we can't work out how they'll go. Shout a lot on social media.

OK, so, I don't game a lot. I don't do multiplayer because I get enough human interaction when I leave the house, I rarely do boardgames but enjoy it when I do, and my computer gaming is a matter of sporadically seizing something, playing it a little obsessively, then getting bored when I find motivation to do anything else at all. 

Like write.

Still, I got to thinking about the mechanics of character progression...

So ...

A while ago, I started a steampunk world. I've been meaning to write a post about that for... How long have I had this site?

Anyway.

Welcome to the coordinated international blog roll cover reveal for Like a Circlet Editor: Erotic Fantasies of Our Office. (Well, erotic fantasies of their office. I just contribute the words. So I may have taken a few liberties with the truth. Although I can't say they don't have a... Anyway.)

(Edited and reposted from a blog which I started for... reasons, but then forgot the address for, and which has been abandoned in favour of this one even though I found it again)

In which I propose a crude categorisation of genres, and set myself up to be insulted by people with more strongly held opinions than me (pre-emptive passive-aggressive defence against people with more deeply considered and informed opinions than me).

Welcome to my second attempt to get an author website up and running. This is a work in progress (well, clearly...) and will evolve and be restyled as time goes on.

Here you can find out a little bit about me but, more importantly (he said optimistically), you can find links to my published works.

I fully intend to update this semi-regularly with news, thoughts, rants and observations, so let's see how that goes, shall we?
