WRITING, ALWAYS ＿〆(。。)

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.

Fringe Festival Show

"Dante's Houseparty" 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.

it is currently:

IUK

Or, Eel Season.

"When the hot winds stop blowing and the temperatures cool, the manna gums flower, and the days and nights become equal in length, it is Iuk Season. In March, the Yarra River becomes muddier and the short-finned eels migrate downstream towards the sea. The eel is a vital part of their society as a sacred, spiritual protector, and an important (buttery – as described by the Yorta Yorta [speaker]) food source."
