Dudley
This is my contribution for Day 12 NaPoWriMo – maybe it’s a found poem, maybe it’s blank verse, maybe it’s comedy or maybe it’s just an exploration of what happens when you replace words with Dudley. Dudley Dudley outbreak in local school! New Dudley flavoured Tim Tams. Would you allow a Dudley in your house?…

NaPoWriMo – One to Sixteen
Last night I was thinking about William S. Burroughs and cut-ups, so today’s poem was created by writing sixteen lines, some of which had something to do with each other, others are more like observations of my surroundings. I numbered each line and then used a random number generator to re-arrange the lines into the…

NaPoWriMo – A Haiku
Just when I thought I couldn’t be busier in April, what with the Melbourne International Comedy Festival gigs I have booked and the awesome stuff on at the Wheeler Centre to go to, along with commitments to work and uni readings and assignments and maintaining a social life, I have, on a whim, decided to…

Just a sort of update post
Dear Readers, I know that lately you have only been hearing from me doing movie review. I’m really enjoying posting journalistic(ish) entries but I thought maybe it was time for a bit of an update on where I’m at with some other stuff I’m doing. Firstly, I’m almost finished my second edit of my NaNoWriMo…

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…

Happy Blogoversary to me!
Yesterday was the two year anniversary of starting this blog, and I would have posted this yesterday but I had to work and then I had to get my NaNoWriMo words done and then I was sleepy. I have achieved a lot of things in the last two years that have made me much happier…

I have something to say
I have nothing to say I have nothing to say I believe I have nothing to say I believe I have nothing worth saying I have no right to make people listen to me I will ever amount to anything I don’t believe that being a writer is a valid goal I don’t believe that…

My Genre
I find it odd being told that something is ‘my genre’. I was told this on Saturday in my writing group. I had brought along two short, humorous poems which were both extremely well received. One of the comments made later was that this was clearly ‘my genre’, and was much more enjoyable than some…

Strange days
I’ve been in a strange place this week. My day job has been quite hard and I have been questioning whether I’m really capable of doing it. I finished writing my novel and have been feeling a bit lost without it, but also creatively exhausted and at the moment sort of dreading having to edit…
