I want to go to the desert to write on Country, and visit the landscape that will be inspiring one of my projects. I was talking to my friend recently (also a writer) about how I might not actually go to the desert, but the point, she said, was to go to the desert i.e. commit fully to the project, even if it's out of the budget to actually physically go to the desert. I guess the point is just that I want to commit 1000% to this.
"Tyler's Inferno" is a short show about a descent into a hellish party. The worst guy you know is there (he wears a North Face vest and his name is Tom), the pink pilates princess is there (and she HATES you) and the dealer might be a wizard. Why are you even going!? Oh right, to create meaningful connections. Good luck with that.

"From April to June, when morning mists cover the land, nights become longer, and wombats emerge from their burrows it comes into Waring Season. Migrating birds arrive from Tasmania and male bulen-bulen, lyrebirds, begin to display their mounds, their spectacular tail feathers, and their songs to attract a mate. As the solstice approaches, Scorpius, at the heart of which is the reddish star Antares, Balayang (Djuit in Boorong naming), rises at sunset. ‘Two seasonal indicators become tied in together – our closest star [the Sun] and the distant stars [like Antares],’ says Duane." text source img source, credit to Wayne Lawler
