2025 – I’m almost afraid to look
I’ve seen a meme a few times in the last couple of days that says something like: ‘I don’t want a new year, I’d like a gently used year. Perhaps 2015?’ It does feel like everything has gone to shit lately, the US looks about ready to fall over, and here in Australia it’s not…

It’s been real, 2023.
As is my tradition at the end of the year, I’m writing this post to wrap up and update you all on my progress against the goals I set at the start of the year, you can read about them in my Welcome to 2023 post. Here’s the list of goals: This year has had…

Welcome to 2023!
The last days of 2022 have been really rough – Mum wasn’t well at Christmas and wasn’t able to participate in the family event, plus my back pain issue has been really fared up for some reason. I’m ready to welcome in a new year with hopefully a few less challenges. As usual, I’m setting…

End of year round up 2022
This year has felt very long. I don’t know about anyone else, but it’s felt like 2022 has been going for a while. In comparison to 2020, it’s been pretty good but there have been plenty of challenges to work through. I changed jobs, or more accurately I changed employers for my day job; the…

If I only could: or leaving things behind
Tuesday was the first day of November and for the first time since 2012 I’m not going to undertake NaNoWriMo. I started doing this marathon drafting challenge when I didn’t yet know how to write novels. A little over a year after I started this blog, the same time that I left a job I…

Another year over…
Each year I do a little wrap up post about the last twelve months and how they’ve gone for me. 2020 was, as I’m sure it was for many of you, a shit show. 2021 started out hopeful, I went back to working in the office sometimes, I saw a couple of Melbourne Comedy Festival…

Welcome to the Roaring 20s
Let’s start with the age old question of how did it get to 2020? I must not have been looking. Far out! In the first entry of each new year I like to post a list of my goals for the coming year. You can read the review I wrote of the last year and…

Reflections on 2019
Firstly, this is my 301st blog post! Wow! I completely missed the fact I’d hit three hundred when I published the last one. My first post here was 7 November 2011. It seems like a lifetime ago, although eight years is a pretty long time too. I’ve done a lot of stuff in that time,…

Goals for 2019
Last Friday I went to a workshop that I found through Meetup.com. I frequently attend Meetup events that have highly variable outcomes – some have been really great and positive, like one group for artists which was really positive and motivating for several months. Other times, like a board game night I went to recently…

Welcome to 2017
Firstly, can I just say that 2017 seems like an absurd number for a year. I finished school in 2002 and that felt quite strange but now I’m even older and it’s 2017. It’s not a real number, it’s not a real year. I feel very old. But back to what I was really going…
