Life in Nuggety Bite-sized Chunks
I’ve recently been doing a lot of thinking about how stories are constructed; from what I’m watching on tv, to what I’m reading to what I’m thinking about writing and the thing that has struck me is the way that stories, in particular 1990s sitcoms, deal out nuggets of self-discovery to the characters in convenient…

Goodies vs Baddies
Last Friday I went to an exhibition opening at Artboy in Greville St Prahran. Some of you may remember that I helped my friend Jonathan take his work there to be exhibited the week before. Exhibition openings tend to be fun, they have free or cheap drinks, you get to hang around with arty types…

Yesterday a woman I’ve only met once, possibly twice told me that I’d blown her mind. It really struck me because I spend so much time walking around inside my own head, thinking about the people who are important to me, thinking about how they impact my journey, about how I want to be more…

Beach Walk Adventure
The last couple of days I have spent in a beach house in Tootgarook, about 1.5hrs down the coast from Melbourne. A friend of mine was having a birthday celebration and about 20 people all went away to help her celebrate. I hope that she had a fantastic time, I know I certainly did! On…

I AM A POET!
For those of you who have been following along you would know that I had decided to read some of my poetry at the Dan O’Connell Hotel Saturday Poetry Group in this entry. About Wednesday this week I decided that this week was the week to do it because otherwise I would just keep putting…
