About Me

An unwilling lawyer by trade, hoping to somehow escape the drudgery by writing a fantasy novel.  Commenced blog while studying a Masters in Law in the UK to avoid work.  I’ve been told that creativity is a muscle that needs to be exercised, and the best exercise is to write.  So here goes.

I can be contacted privately at: pacejmiller@gmail.com

So you’ve named your muscle “Creativity”?

Will you be posting samples of your novel? excerpt? chapters? for critique?

Thanks for the comment – and yes, I will be hoping to post excerpts, but it’ll probably be a while…still trying to finish off the first draft! And at the moment, it’s not looking very pretty.

hey, well sometimes “not very pretty” is just the way it is. I’m not a professional or published writer but I’m a writer nonetheless, it’s the only thing that keeps me sane. I had a hard time realizing that you don’t achieve perfection the first time out but as you edit and re-edit that first draft, so don’t pull your hair out just yet.

Hey! Awesome blog(s) (I went to both your blogspot and wordpress ones). Keep up the good work!

Thanks. I wanted to keep my serious stuff and my goofy, punkish self separate. I look forward to reading your stuff.

Yo Pace!
Have you heard of this place: mcsweeneys.net? two people have directed me to it, apparently its an independent publish house/creative writing magazine founded by Dave Eggers full of lots of funny, irreverant writing.

Speaking of writing, how’s the novel coming along? I know you have your exams and all but I was wondering if you had make any progress or if blogging still truncating it. I’ve written 20 more pages of mine though I haven’t written a single word in two weeks and blogging its (partly) to blame for that.

No, will definitely check out mcsweeneys!

Novel progress….big zero…I’m going to put up a short post about that tomorrow morning, and then probably no to minimal blogging for the next 10-12 days!
