Happy Winter Solstice!
Yuletide Blessings from the the Southern Hemisphere! I have lived most of my life in sunny Queensland, Australia, where the Yule occurs in mid-June. Yule is the Midwinter Solstice, when the sun again appears to stand still, as it did at midsummer, but the season is poised to return to light. In Australia, many people… Continue reading Happy Winter Solstice!
All You Have to Do is Write
Imagine a beginner writer starting out on their storytelling journey. They're going to creative writing workshops and classes.

In this post I reflect on my first adventure overseas, a solo trip to Singapore, Paris, Britain and Ireland.
Ode to alt-J
I created my 'Ode to alt-J' routine ahead of the band's performance at the Riverstage in Brisbane in November 2022. I was supposed to go with my best friend Meg, but the show was postponed to April 2023.
