Lunchtime
Go to a public location and make a detailed report of what you see. The twist of the day? Write the post without adverbs. It’s cold as we take a seat outside the little café. Even though we’re sitting under an outdoor gas heater, there’s a distinct chill in the air. It’s winter in Melbourne,…

A Human Character
Today, you’ll write about a person you’ve met in 2014. In your twist, develop and shape your portrait further in a character study. The thing about meeting new people is that they either make no impression at all or they have a lasting impact on how you see yourself, live your life or how…

Just three songs?!
Today’s prompt is to write about three songs that are important to you, and I’m really struggling with it. There are so many songs that are important to me, and the songs that speak to me at one point in time are different to the songs that speak to me now. I remember when I…

Shortlisted!
A few weeks ago I entered a couple of shots into an amateur photography competition run by Australian Photography Magazine, mostly just for fun. They sent out an email announcing the winner a couple of days ago, and I only just opened it up to have a look at the shortlisted photos. To my surprise,…

Watching Movies: Flickerfest
I don’t know about you, but I enter competitions for things under the assumption that I’ll never win. That assumption has been severely challenged the last week as I’ve won movie passes twice! One is for Dallas Buyers Club (so I’ll be reviewing that in the next week or so, yay!) and the other was…
