Or Season? Anyway, I'm on sabbatical, sort of. Doing a course, resting the hands, collaborating on a short story (will give details when it gets accepted into the anthology), and daydreaming in a sunny spot in the garden. So, that's all folks, at least until December, then it depends on the state of play with … Continue reading R&R Month

To Suffer, or Not to Suffer
That's not really the question in #FPQ141 but it hangs close enough to title it as such. At least from my perspective. His question, as a direct quote, is: Do you agree that human suffering can be beneficial and that suffering is a necessary part of the human condition? Why or why not?Fandango 2021 #FPQ141 … Continue reading To Suffer, or Not to Suffer
Diverting from Fibre
Diverticulitis and diverticulosis -- not the best subject for a Sunday morning, but let me tell you a story that begins with my first diagnosis of this problem. First, though, you need to know I have no medical training. Apart from First Aid, Level Two, now several years out of date. The problem above is … Continue reading Diverting from Fibre
A Truth
#blogginginsights from SaltedCaramel. A deep sigh, followed by a few keys tapped. A deeper sigh. My thumbs are healing. So slow. Too slow. How can a writer not write? I'm with Franz Kafka. I'm a monster, grumpy, suffering severe bouts of COF Syndrome (that's cranky old fart syndrome in case you want to use it), … Continue reading A Truth
In the Throes of Creating a New Short Story
And didn't pre-plan a post. Whoops! However, the story I'm editing ready for publication is an Australian short story (about 6k words) about gold country. Do you remember Itchy (originally published here)? Stay tuned. He's going to make it into his own book. Photo by Pat Whelen on Pexels.com
The Creation of a Story
This little story idea was outlined for submission to a children's anthology (later cancelled). I haven't gone beyond the idea and basic outline, and animal-protagonist stories seem to have hit a dull patch so I haven't gone further with it, but tell me what you think ... story array Image: Bilby (an Australian animal), digging … Continue reading The Creation of a Story
Flower Day — Spring Equinox
In the southern hemisphere, today is the Spring Equinox. To the northerners, it's the Autumn/Fall equinox. But we have something special in Adelaide for Spring Equinox. We have Flower Day. Yep. Have a look at the Adelaide City Council's play (although I prefer the Botanic Gardens version of Flower Day). Unfortunately, both these sites lack … Continue reading Flower Day — Spring Equinox
A Rose by any Other Name: Oxymoronicism
In this case, an oxymoron. I'm considering doing a short post on how prevalent these are in usage. An example that slaps me in the face several times a day: Gamble Responsibly It comes at the end of an ad that makes gambling so much more fun than life. No, I don't remember the sponsor … Continue reading A Rose by any Other Name: Oxymoronicism
A Few Days Until Spring Hits
The Seasons Turn Which means another round of spring-cleaning! Oh, what joy, what pleasure, what horrors await. Joy, that the place gets a good cleanout. Out go the spider webs that took over the ceilings, hid along the edges of everything hung on the wall, drifted down from the light fittings like old man moss. … Continue reading A Few Days Until Spring Hits
A New Page!
Some people turn over a new leaf, some turn over a full page, but I'm going to add a page! At least to this site. It's not up yet, still in the design phase, but before long there will be --- drumroll, please --- a Copywriter Page Yes, I know. Sounds like a lot of … Continue reading A New Page!
