June 2012


C.C. Parfoot was born in the icy cold bitter howling winds of New Zealand and came to the egg frying heat of Australia when he was eleven. He’s older now and has lots of grey hair and makes his home in Brisbane with his wife, and three sons.
When he’s not writing C.C. Parfoot enjoys reading, playing his ukulele, singing, and trying not to kill the house plants. One orchid has died, but he promises the rest are OK.
He spends way too much time watching You Tube and can’t seem to convince his family to play Scrabble with him.

When a writer writes

The fun part of being a writer, and some would say perhaps the bane of a writer's life, is the constant immersion in your fictional world.
It might be you have a plot knot, and you are tyring to untangle it, Gordian or otherwise, and when they appear they are all Gordian, and they wake you up at 2.00 or 3.00 am with the most ingenious solution.
"Ah ha," you say, and make either a mental note of it Read more of this blog post »

“What sort of an inference engine would I be," EDDIE said, "If I didn't trust a hunch every now and again?”
C. C. Parfoot

Louis L'Amour
“I like them all. There's bits and pieces of books that I think are good. I never rework a book. I'd rather use what I've learned on the next one, and make it a little bit better. The worst of it is that I'm no longer a kid and I'm just now getting to be a good writer. Just now.”
Louis L'Amour

Haruki Murakami
“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”
Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Eugène Ionesco
“A writer never has a vacation. For a writer, life consists of either writing or thinking about writing.”
Eugene Ionesco
