What Can I Say?

Apart from the usual. I’ve been editing this story for so long, completed two other projects in between, decided to give up on it a few days ago — which led to a long dream-session where I saw the finished product so clearly … And all these other stories keep calling out to me, tempting … Continue reading What Can I Say?

Diaballein

It’s my first attempt at an advertising banner. What do you think? What I think is that it might be a bit dark, the background too strong for the text, or the text is the wrong colour — but what would a person who’s effectively colour-blind know about it?

I came across this wonderful initiative this morning and felt the immediate wish to participate.

Purpose

Short versions of deep stories, with no price attached — shall I tell you about them? An aside: The Goodreads page is difficult to find. It’s a lesson to storytellers — make the title as close to unique as possible so readers can find it when they hear about it! Thanks, Li, for bringing this … Continue reading Purpose

'Twas the Day After …

and the smoke from the fires in the hills roils the air like a fog. Most of the volunteers from our group/region went up to NSW to help out with their big fire/s (yes, multiple, but some joined up to make a bigger impact), so we had a few missing, and most of the others … Continue reading 'Twas the Day After …
