Ah, what’s in a story.
If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be? I find that I am constantly using the terms narrative , rhetoric and discourse. It seems that I’m becoming more adept at understanding people’s hidden or opaque narratives , rhetoric and intentions. I’m also finding the word, or more…

“You’re free now”
“You’re free now”, she heard herself whisper in what she could only describe as a quasi-dreamlike state. She stopped for a moment, realising the enormity of those three little words: “You’re free now.” What did that mean? How could she reconcile her deep sense of loss and grief with the realisation that her dad was…

The promise of new growth.
Tell us about the last thing you got excited about. Don’t laugh, but the last time I got excited was yesterday after discovering several of my indoor plants had new spring growth.

They beg me to choose them, giving them life, weaving them into meaningful streams of consciousness. They magically, mystically appear as though I am simply a conduit,…

Why do I write? Seriously?
Sometimes, words fail me. Sad, but true. While other times, it’s as though words dance before my very eyes, mysteriously revealing themselves and the incredible images they convey. They beg me to choose them, giving them life, weaving them into meaningful streams of consciousness. They magically, mystically appear as though I am simply a conduit,…

Funny you should ask us that!
If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go? I literally flew home today after a month in Europe. I would only fly with Premium Rconomy (or Business) , so the person giving away the tickets better be rich. Believe me when I say long-haul flights are exhausting, especially given how far Sydney…

How would I describe myself?
How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you? Luckily there is much more to me then what simply meets the eye. Should I describe myself physically? My perception of my physical attributes? Or my personality? Funny, how I see and value myself may differ to others understandings and points of reference, or…
