Very quickly, this is your last, very last, oh-so-last reminder that My Creative Process begins on Sunday. In honour of the big month that it’s been, don’t forget to use the extra special coupon SHAPES to get an even bigger saving. Read more and enroll here. As always, I’ll be doing the course’s creative challenges…
Readings, Carlton Thursday 23rd March 2017 I’m going to keep this post short and sweet. I’ll let the few photos and the video (under 20min) do most of the talking for me, but I’ll say just this: it was as relaxed and informal as I’d hoped, surrounded by wonderful friends. My thanks again to Penni…
One of my favourite books over the past decade is Born To Run, so I was very keen to read its follow-up-of-sorts, Natural Born Heroes. Christopher McDougall is one of those non-fiction writers with such a flair for telling engrossing stories that it’s not surprising they find fame and acclaim, but I think he stretches…
It is exactly three (edit: no, TWO!) weeks until On The Many Shapes Bodies Will Take is released. It’s been exciting to begin hearing the little bit of feedback so far from those people who have received their Pozible rewards and now the preorders are also en route. I’m quite a familiar sight at the…

It’s that time again – April is bearing down on us, so that means registrations for My Creative Process are open! I’m announcing it now before the official release of On The Many Shapes Bodies Will Take next month makes things even busier (such as its launch). Any questions? Just ask. Enrol here. The…
Some of my Living List goals are ambitious, others lofty, a few worthy. Some are plain fun and decadent. Because what’s life without a little of both? We ventured into the city a few Saturdays ago to visit the Naughty Boy cafe. High summer, hot. Perfect milkshake weather. But freakshakes aren’t your typical milkshake. If…
Although I love the beach, the conditions required to actually get me into the water need to be pretty specific: hot weather, warm water and I have to be in the mood for a swim. As those of you familiar with Victorian weather can attest, those first two conditions can be pretty… sporadic. (Yes,…
Welcome to my annual ‘take a peek under the hood’ post about how I made money from blogging in the previous calendar year. I believe this is the fourth time I’ve written this kind of breakdown and I am fascinated by how much they change. The reasons often correlate to wider changes occurring in the…
