Writing goals

Welcome to 2026
It feels super weird to write 2026. I feel old, and like the passage of time is going faster and faster. Each year I write a post about my goals for the upcoming year, you can read the break down of 2025’s goals and how I went with them on my recent post here. The…

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…

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,…

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…

Just Keep Writing
I arrived back in Melbourne yesterday at 8:00am. It was a red-eye flight and I had very little sleep: I had one screaming toddler, one loud snorer, and a man sitting next to me who seemed unhappy with the amount of space I wanted to take up. I can’t say I blame him, economy seats…

It’s a real book!
Exciting news! Print copies of my Choose Your Own Adventure novel, Sophie’s Path, are now available. They are $15.99 (AU), and you can order them from me directly. I haven’t worked out how to distribute them through Amazon yet. In other news, preparations for Fleur and Alexandra are Out of This World are coming along great. Tickets for…

NaPoWriMo 2018
I did NaPoWriMo two years ago. In the last few months I’ve had loads of compliments for my poetry chapbook, My Body. No Apology, so I’d like to produce some more poems and make a follow up chapbook. Much of the raw material from NaPoWriMo last time was not so great. I guess it’s all…
