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…

The view from here
As it creeps into winter here in the southern hemisphere I find myself fantasising about warm summer breezes. There is a little girl sitting on the bank of a fast flowing river. On her back are the marks of weeks worth of different tan lines across her shoulders and arms. She’s wearing a singlet…

Stream of consciousness
The last few days have been a bit of an emotional roller coaster for me. I’ve been on two dates which didn’t go anywhere, I’ve resigned from my job, I’ve started the Writing101 challenge, I’ve been to an Emerging Writers’ Festival event about writing the mind and body and that totally blew my mind and…

Swapping one challenge for another
April was the month of poems, May will be the month of photos. I started the National Poetry Writing Month challenge one day late, but managed to complete the month with 30 new poems under my belt. I’m the first to admit that their quality is not consistent in any way, there were days where…

Short Thoughts: The Return of the King
Thursday night was my sixth Melbourne International Comedy Festival Show for the season.

La Mama, it turns out,…
