Writing is like, hard, y’know?
On Monday morning at 9am I sat down to write a short story. I had set myself the challenge of writing four or five first drafts for some short story competitions I had found online. The story I wrote on Monday was about my mother’s experience with cancer. The Cancer Council had set up an…

But I wasn’t ready!
Today I didn’t go to work because I’m on school holidays. I started the day slowly with a nice cup of coffee and wrote my first draft of the first of the short stories I had set myself to write. I did my reading for uni, both accounting and history, I started on my history…

Sydney – Part 3: Write Club

Tasmania: Part 9 – Beer!
This will be my last post about my trip to Tasmania. I realised yesterday that I was there for seven days, but I have managed to write nine blogs about it! I think that’s a fair effort – granted they’re mostly photo essays. Louise made a request when we were organising the trip that we…

Tasmania: Part 8 – Quirky shops and objedar
Towards the end of the trip I encountered a few lovely shops filled with quirky objedar. Well, either that or they were trussed up op-shops completely filled with over-priced shit depending on your particular point of view. Either way, I think I got a few nice shots. This gorgeous clock was available for sale at…
