NaPoWriMo 2018
I did NaPoWriMo two years ago. In the last few months I’ve had loads of compliments for my poetry chapbook, My Body. No Apology, so I’d like to produce some more poems and make a follow up chapbook. Much of the raw material from NaPoWriMo last time was not so great. I guess it’s all…

Too busy? Me?
I read an interesting article on the saying no to the Cult of Busyness yesterday. It advocates doing only one thing at a time, and I can’t say I’m completely on board with that, but I do think that our society undervalues down-time.

Baby Steps vs. Leaps of Faith

Was it Worth the Price of Admission?
Do memberships in the arts pay off? A few weeks ago I started working on the new show which Alexandra and I will be performing at the Melbourne Fringe festival in September.

Sixth Time Lucky
This year I finished my NaNoWriMo on 28 November. My final word-count was 50,336 words. The working title of my new book is ‘The Discovery of the Franklin’. I mocked-up this cover while procrastinating doing my words one day. The story is contemporary fiction with romantic elements. The main characters are sisters, Sarah and Katie…
