Ok – sorry, I’ve posed this under the wrong website :p For those not in Australia – ANU is the Australian National University and I’m doing their 2-hour online course. Just like I did with my practicum (Grad Dip in Information and Library Studies) from Curtin University I’m going to record my thoughts on what…

Lost content
It looks like I’ve lost a lot of content – wandered off somewhere – after making the site private for some time. But I’m pretty sure it’s because I did something wrong…like releasing a virus to make zombies. Anyhoo, will be uploading stories again soon!
Meh with Attitude (What the hell to do with the stories we slave over and missed opportunities)
Okay, maybe not the thing to be following my Australia Day post but it’s how I feel at the moment. It was simple in the old days – you slave over your precious piece of textual brilliance and send it in to a literary agent and then hopefully a publisher. The chances were you’d be…
It’s Australia Day
It means many things to many people and to me it’s simply the place I was born, the environment I was raised in and the people, culture and values I’ve come to know. The lens I view through is ‘Australian’ and it is also realistic and so I’ve accepted the warts along with the beauty…

Meaning of ‘irresolution’:- hesitant, indecisiveness, ambivalence, plain old lazy Okay, maybe one of those things doesn’t really belong but truthfully I didn’t achieve very much in terms of writing or associated goals last year. Oh yeah, there was work, study and having far too many colds and flu’s and other crap stuff that happens in…
B b b b bad
Be a Bad Bad Storyteller Yep, you heard me. If you want to keep writing, and this is where the stubbornness comes in that I spoke of last post, you must keep writing even when in a bad mood. BUT don’t do any editing! At least not without making a copy – hack away at…
Stay The Course and Write
So you have the writer’s bug but don’t have the time. I’ve found myself in that position and have decided to write more microfiction and short stories. It would be easy to give up that thing that drives me to enrich my life. I’m lucky though, my addiction to write is cheap, resources are easily…
Be a good storyteller
As a writer you will need to make choices in how you tell a story and one way is by just doing it. Microfiction can help you with that skill. It can be easy to forget why you are writing when you are working on a full length novel. Try some shorter pieces to work…
