Over half way to May!
This is just a brief update post on what’s happening in April. Things have been progressing well in my world.

I know that Spring is supposed to be rainy, and I know that we need the rain, but it still puts me in a kinda flat mood, especially after all the sunshine yesterday. I’ve been still struggling with…

The things you learn
We’re less than three weeks away from the opening night of my first ever Melbourne Fringe Festival show: Fleur and Alexandra Save the World. I am approximately equal parts terrified and exhilarated. We still have a lot of props, sets, and costumes to finish, but the script is solid, we have a venue and most of…

For day 13 of NaPoWriMo I responded to a drawing done of me last night at the student union at the University of Melbourne.
