It’s launched!
On Sunday I released my second novel. I decided to throw a small launch party for it. Here are a couple of photos from the day courtesy of Stuart. I would like to thank everyone who came along, and everyone who bought a copy of the book. I was very nervous about it, but I…

Continuous Improvement
The day job that I have at the moment is working in Quality. That means that I spend all day reviewing, rewording and proof reading policies, and doing what’s referred to as continuous improvement. It’s my first job in Quality and I don’t have a strong background in it, but I think continuous improvement comes from…

The End of the Dirty Thirty
April is National Poetry Writing Month, or NaPoWriMo. I decided to do it this year, sort of on a whim, and then I forgot till 5 April, so I was four behind! I’ve caught up and now have only today’s and two more to finish the ‘dirty thirty’, as my friend calls it. I’ve decided…

Allusions
Today, my writing group held their all day writing seminar. The second session, on poetry, was a panel moderated by me. It went really very well, the participants were enthusiastic and willing to learn and discuss, the panel members were knowledgeable and the whole thing ran very well. As part of the panel, I asked…

Write On!
I have no idea why I didn’t think of spruiking this here before today, but I’m going to blame it on having a birthday. On Saturday my local writing group, Boroondara Writers’ Inc., is putting on “Write On!”, a full day of writing workshops/seminars with the launch of the 2013-14 anthology*, “Whichever Way I Lay”…

Week 4 – Photo a day Challenge
Week four is the last week for the photo a day challenge I signed up for. I’ve had a lot of fun trying to find something everyday to photograph in line with the daily theme. I admit some days I didn’t get very close, some days the connection was tenuous to say the least, but…
