St Kilda Festival 2014
Yesterday afternoon I braved the harsh summer sun to wander around St Kilda and soak up some of the festival good times. The St Kilda Festival is a free annual event which runs for a bit over a week and culminates in Festival Sunday (yesterday). There is free live music, and rides, and stuff, and…

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…

Richmond Adventure
After taking myself out for a coffee at a semi local (about 10 min walk) cafe to write up my plan for NaNoWriMo (that’s National Novel Writing Month) I went on a bit of a ramble through the suburb I call home. There’s quite a lot of cool graffiti, given the number of people in…

OMG Fangirling
So this is basically a massive brag on my part, I wanted to share with the internet that I met Geoffrey Rush today at the Arts Centre in Melbourne. They have been hosting an exhibition there called The Extraordinary Faces of Geoffrey Rush for a while and he kindly agreed to do a signing engagement. The following…

Fairfax 1440 Photographic Essay Competition
I think I mentioned recently having entered the Fairfax 1440 Photographic Essay competition. It was to be announced at the end of June, so given that I haven’t been notified that I won I am going to assume that I didn’t. Since I didn’t win, I feel I can now publish the photographic essay that…

I’m going on holiday!
I’ve been a bit quiet lately. I guess blogging, like writing and just about everything else in life, goes through peaks and troughs. During the space since my last update I’ve had exams (one of the joys of going back to uni) and have booked myself a trip to the United States for a month…

Melbourne City Adventure
Yesterday I spent the day in the city centre of Melbourne with one of my oldest and dearest friends. He is really into photography and has an awesome photography based business back in Hobart. We chatted, had lots of cups of tea/coffee and wander around taking photos. These are some of the ones I took…

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…

Daylesford Adventure
Last Sunday I drove about 120km out of Melbourne to Daylesford. The area is well known for it’s natural mineral springs, and was a favoured holiday spot of families and glitterazzi in times gone by. Apparently my maternal great grandparents were among those who frequented the area. The spring water is slightly fizzy with a…
