Good things are happening when things are going bad

Nearly everytime some good has been invisibly growing away in the background, it just travels slowly and invisibly.

Never giving up when you want to

Art life is mostly thankless and working in the dark. It can't be done any other way.

A book that breaks free from social media and has its own life

I'm keen for a book that has its own life independent of social media. I'm not an 'influencer' but that's the tax one pays for being able to avoid the gatekeepers. So I'm also thankful. It's always a love-hate relationship.

Poetry - the building block for novelists

They say poetry is the first thing you learn before moving towards writing in other genres. I never thought I would.

Authors who no longer write from a personal emergency

Helen Garner said she struggled to write a follow up to her big book "The First Stone" as she needed to write from a personal emergency. I'm finding myself in the same place.

I got sick of my own writing

Changing up style and voice is a bit of a struggle but I'm no stranger to it. You lose social media traction and you lose and audience but the heart can breath again.
