Just a sort of update post
Dear Readers, I know that lately you have only been hearing from me doing movie review. I’m really enjoying posting journalistic(ish) entries but I thought maybe it was time for a bit of an update on where I’m at with some other stuff I’m doing. Firstly, I’m almost finished my second edit of my NaNoWriMo…

Happy 2014!
Welcome to 2014! Like many of you, I spent last night out and about welcoming in the New Year. I decided at the last minute to join a group of people on the roof of a bar in Windsor, Melbourne, called Mother’s Milk. The group was one that I’m part of through Meetup, so I’d…

The time I discovered poetry videos on the internet
I spend more time than I would like trying to forget that I’m unsatisfied with where I am right now. Some of that is when I’m at home, alone, trying to find inspiration or meaning or rest. Some of it is when I should be working but I can’t bring myself to do it because…

And then there were two…
Hello world! In the last thirty days I have undertaken the massive, mind-boggling, word-murdering challenge that is NaNoWriMo and I have won. I am now the proud owner of my second novel length manuscript. Currently entitled ‘Adventures in Mediocrity’ is it about 55,000 words long. This is not a long novel, as novels go, however…

Happy Blogoversary to me!
Yesterday was the two year anniversary of starting this blog, and I would have posted this yesterday but I had to work and then I had to get my NaNoWriMo words done and then I was sleepy. I have achieved a lot of things in the last two years that have made me much happier…

I have something to say
I have nothing to say I have nothing to say I believe I have nothing to say I believe I have nothing worth saying I have no right to make people listen to me I will ever amount to anything I don’t believe that being a writer is a valid goal I don’t believe that…

My Genre
I find it odd being told that something is ‘my genre’. I was told this on Saturday in my writing group. I had brought along two short, humorous poems which were both extremely well received. One of the comments made later was that this was clearly ‘my genre’, and was much more enjoyable than some…

Quiz times
I recently submitted a (potentially) humourous quiz that I’d written to the Monash University campus magazine, Lot’s Wife. Unfortunately they chose not to accept the submission, they said it was not suited to their readership and that the concept was ‘overdone’ (they’re probably right). Regardless of this setback, I liked my quiz and feel like you…

Writing Games
Today I spent a couple of hours this afternoon with a group of people doing writing games. This was organised by through a Writers’ Meetup group and consisted of eight people, none of whom I’d met before as it was my first outing with this group. After a brief period of chatting and socialising the…

Competition
This is just going to be a short one, I haven’t been posting a lot because I’ve been spending a lot of time doing, well, other stuff. What is this other stuff? You may ask. Well, I have submitted my NaNoWriMo manuscript to a couple of publishers for consideration, so I’m quite pleased with myself…
