Penguin School of Popular Writing
Yesterday I spent the day at the Penguin Publishing headquarters in central Melbourne. I had enrolled to attend their inaugural ‘School of Popular Writing’, a full day workshop designed to give aspiring authors a better idea of what they need to do to get their manuscript published as well as an opportunity to meet people from…

Spring Flowers
This post is going to be mostly photos, with a little explanation at the start. Spring has been springing in Melbourne for about three weeks, the cherry blossoms are out, the days are sunny, yesterday I spent almost the whole day in a t-shirt! It’s very exciting after having endured a pretty cold and miserable…

To be a poet or worse a novelist!
Now I bet you’re all thinking that I’m going to start talking about my recent writing escapades, but you’d be wrong. In fact I’ve taken this phrase (or at least something very like this phrase) from the play ‘School for Wives’ by Moliere. Last Tuesday I saw the Bell Shakespeare Company’s production of School for…

Goodies vs Baddies
Last Friday I went to an exhibition opening at Artboy in Greville St Prahran. Some of you may remember that I helped my friend Jonathan take his work there to be exhibited the week before. Exhibition openings tend to be fun, they have free or cheap drinks, you get to hang around with arty types…

Arty day is arty!
I had my last exam for the semester yesterday, I don’t have to start paid work again for another week or so and I decided I was going to focus on doing some projects. I realise that I’ve said this before and life has gotten in the way, and I realise that it will get…

Playing with light: Markit @ Federation Square
It’s been a while since I did a photo essay, and this one isn’t really a photo essay, it’s more a chance for me to share my experimentations from my adventure yesterday. I was at Markit @ Federation Square. For those of you not in Melbourne Federation Square is a modern building complex that was…

I AM A POET!
For those of you who have been following along you would know that I had decided to read some of my poetry at the Dan O’Connell Hotel Saturday Poetry Group in this entry. About Wednesday this week I decided that this week was the week to do it because otherwise I would just keep putting…

Artist Date: Pick ‘n’ Mix Exhibition Opening
On Thursday night I went to an exhibition opening at £1000 Bend in Melbourne’s CBD. My friend, Jonathan who has featured in this blog before, was one of the exhibited artists and I had met some of the organisers previously so I was basically honour bound to go. I had an amazing time, I ran into…

This may be inviting disaster…
But I’ve decided to perform some of my poetry at the Dan O’Connell in the next couple of weeks. I became enamoured of the idea last night after I had a horrible meeting with the group who I am supposed to be doing an Accounting assignment with. I guess it was also the flowering of…

Adventure in Carlton: Photos
This post won’t have many words, just some of photos from my adventure. Enjoy! I don’t really know what to say about this… It’s cool though. It’s a sticker about 10cm high that was stuck on a fence in Carlton. I am sure it’s making a statement but I’m not really sure what the statement…
