I acknowledge the Turrbal and Yuggera people, the traditional custodians of the land on which I live, work and create. I also pay respect to the Elders past, present and emerging. Writing to you from Meanjin|Brisbane.
I have leave planned for April and May. I don’t normally take leave for the sake of taking it but this will be the most leave I’ve taken since my surgery. Because of that, I plan to cram in a lot of exciting things to do ₍₍⚞(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)⚟⁾⁾ Plans I’m making: I want to…

A horror story in a school with a…

I’m only up to halfway through the twelfth chapter of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
Off the top of my head, I can only name two Brisbane authors: Trent Dalton and Melissa Lucashenko. They tried to shove Tim Winton down my throat in university and so I thought he was also from Brisbane but he’s actually from Perth. The reason for the force-feeding was because Cloudstreet is based in a…
I don’t know how useful these words from the 1950s will be for me writing in the 2020s but there’s a few fun ones to salvage.

Keep readingThe rains are on and off but the winds are definitely cooling, sweeping in the fresh air of autumn, winter on the edge of it. This week has been particularly tiring with the double workload but it has made me appreciate my free time more, particularly when I have the energy for it. I’m currently…
Keep readingI started taking on the role of Dungeon Master (DM) around 2018/2019. My first session was a one-shot that ended up being a long-shot and then I DM’d a homebrew campaign through covid. I’ve had the most growth as a DM during my current campaign that I’m running, which I started in September 2024. One…

Keep readingMath was my favourite subject, followed by the sciences and then history, throughout all of primary school and the first couple of years of high school. It wasn’t until about Year 10 that I realised that my strength was actually in English (well, writing, specifically). Before then, I struggled in English a lot. Actually, I…
Keep readingThe first thing that I’ve noticed since starting Preptober is that there is way more lore and plot development for Dual Wielding: Featherstorm than I thought. Though I have a lot of pride in how the lore of the world overall has been improved, I think my brain didn’t quite register just how much work…
