Can you only have one creative passion?
Can you only have one creative passion? If you’re a writer can you be a painter too? Can you be a musician and a sculptor? Yes, of course you can. Now that was a short post, perhaps I should go into more detail. For a very long time now I have identified as a […]

Letters from Suburbia – Feb 2017
So it’s time to spread the news. ALL OF THE NEWS. Ok, there’s not that much. As you may or may not know, I’m not one for planning ahead. Commitments beyond a few months stress and intimidate me. Which is why this year my plan is… not to plan! Well not plan much anyway. Yes, […]

Mat […]

Letters from Suburbia
Dear Writers, Readers and Daydreamers, Today I shaved my legs for the first time in over a month. This wasn’t a social experiment or a political stance. It was because I couldn’t be bothered (and, because it’s still freezing in north Victoria, I could get away with it). In fact, the only reason I shaved […]

Letters from the Farm: September
Dear Writers, Readers and Daydreamers, This is the second and may be the last letter from the farm you receive for a while. We’re moving again! This time to the burbs somewhere east of Melbourne. I’m excited to have hipster style caffeine but a short stroll away, Mat’s excited to have some well deserved time […]

Letters from the Farm: August
Dear Writers, Readers and Daydreamers, I am writing this from the back deck of my farm cottage. The dog is hunting for treats I threw into the yard and bees are seeking out the tiny mauve flowers that have sprouted across the lawn since the temperature picked up. I’ve taken the day off from the community centre where […]
