When I first learned of the interpretation of 'abracadabra' as meaning 'I create' and 'as I am speaking', I couldn't help but think that it was an amazingly apt mantra for fiction writers. After all, we weave new people, new concepts and even entirely new worlds simply by telling a story.
Of course, as we work to create the stories that form in our minds and demand to be let out onto the page, or these days, the computer screen, we also take part in our own stores; the stuff of commentary tracks and behind the scenes documentaries—the story of the process.
Sadly not all of us have a film crew at our disposal and since most of the work is solitary and mental, it wouldn't make good film anyway. Thus, the creator blog: a place for fans to come to see what's going on in the head of the talent and creators go to get all their 'DVD extra' worthy material out of their brain.
A:ISCAIS, in case you haven't guessed, is my creator blog, where I will come from time to time in order to talk about my works, offer a bit of commentary and back story, and hopefully shed some light on the place where my work comes from. I invite anyone who is reading this to share the ride and hope they enjoy it.
