My Journey

Winter is here
I left my job about a month ago and almost immediately I got really sick, because of course I did.

Changes (again)
Sometimes I think I have set myself up and I’ll be able to have a nice stable life for a little while. I think ‘oh good, I can get on with being alive now that everything is set up’. But that doesn’t seem to be how life works, at least not for me. I had a…

Sometimes it just doesn’t work
Last month I wrote a super angry poem for my poetry group. It was confused and ranty and not very good. I can look at it now and see that. I had massaged it so that I could keep a couple of lines I was really enamoured of, at the expense of content. The group was…

The Business of Creating
Last night I managed to get to the 50,000 word target of my fourth year of NaNoWriMo. Huzzah! I was so pleased to have been able to get it done, two days early, and with only a couple of thousand words worth of story to go. I’m going to wrap it up today and tomorrow…

Panacea
– the cure for what ails ya! This weekend I went up to a spot called Riverview in the bush near Tatong, Victoria to Panacea. It was part music festival, part yoga festival and all awesome.
