Lost and Found
During my adventure on Sunday in the laneways of Melbourne, I came across something that looked like discarded drawings. In a laneway near the law district which was a weird combination of old and new, on the cobbled street next to a big blue skip, was a large, forlorn looking piece of paper. When I…

The Evil Corporate Takeover
Or “The Importance of Paying for It” Today’s prompt it to write about an event that is about to be taken over by an evil corporate, or shut down. Please note that the opening scenario is completely hypothetical – don’t panic! Avid followers of this blog will be aware that I’m in love with…

Mum’s One-Pot Chicken Soup
Day Ten’s prompt is to write about a favourite childhood meal that meant celebration or comfort. I’ve been thinking about this for a couple of days and the one that sticks out for me is the chicken soup my mother made me when I had all my wisdom teeth out. Because I’d had all four…

Some thoughts about failure and inspiration
So, I got a little behind with my Writing101 challenge because I had to do an assignment at the last minute and have it done by midnight last night.

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,…

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…
