It’s a pretty good feeling, getting paid for one’s #writing.

Did some administrative tasks today, to ensure I get paid next year. Super thankful 🙏

My first short story written as part of my 2025 Libraries Tasmania Fellowship for Writing will soon be published! 🥳

It’s all happening head-spinningly fast! 🥹

Knitting in a world on Fire

#knitting #knittinghowto #knittingtechnique #politicalknitting Banner knitting: techniques to efficiently knit words & letters. Christmas stockings is one use. Expressing your views in a world of fire and turmoil is a better. Get it off (or on?) your chest.

I love my particular view of Mt Wellington. I've not seen this side of it before — cloud shadows tumbling down its soft and sharp undulations. To see its changing face as the seasons tick past feels like such a gift. How strange to learn I've been wanting to return here all this time.
