(Death by Lifesavers) I love the irony of this photograph… (Death by Nutella) Fabulous angle; hues are luscious… (Death by OREOs) This one might be my favourite… It’s like a wicked fairy tale and classical painting compressed into one photographic image. And the photo within the photo is a nice touch, too.Thanks, Tully, for…… Continue reading Daniela Edburg
Found my fork…
I haven’t posted in a while… Just read the last post and realised that it is because I seem to have gone off and found my ‘writing fork’ again. Spent the long weekend sketching out one story, working on another, and writing massive chunks of a third (in between eating chocolate and watching Kung…… Continue reading Found my fork…
Eating salad with a spoon
…is how I feel about my writing process today. I’ll get there eventually, but I seem to have misplaced my fork.

Very superstitious (Or: Ups and Downs)
About three weeks ago, one of my short stories was accepted for publication in a forthcoming spec fic anthology here in Australia. (Strike up the band, dance a jig of happiness, watch as confetti and gold streamers explode across the room!) Obviously, I haven’t mentioned it yet. Basically, I am feeling superstitious, so you’ll have…… Continue reading Very superstitious (Or: Ups and Downs)
Clockwork Jungle and Festival Season!
Subbed a story to Shimmer zine’s special edition last night. It’s a steampunk retelling of Aesop’s ‘The Fox and the Crow’… we’ll see what happens. This one was fully a case of ‘It won’t get published if you keep in on your desktop’ so I decided to send it in… In other news, it’s Festival Season in Adelaide! Woo…… Continue reading Clockwork Jungle and Festival Season!
Sorry.
Yesterday was an amazing day in Australian history. I can acknowledge this without feeling like a fraud. I was moved by Kevin Rudd’s speech, moved by its apparent sincerity, moved by the overwhelming national recognition of this momentous event. But I feel like I have to let my involvement in the matter stop there. As my throat clenched…… Continue reading Sorry.
Some bastard took my library book! Or not…
One of the joys of writing a thesis on medieval Icelandic literature is that I seem to be the only one in Adelaide who is loony of enough to be doing so. An unexpected benefit of this self-inflicted madness is that, by default, all of the Old Norse-Icelandic library books at Flinders and Adelaide Universities are…… Continue reading Some bastard took my library book! Or not…
Cloverfield… and a rejection
Cloverfield first:At the risk of using a word I’m beginning to suspect is actually an insult in disguise, I thought that Cloverfield was… interesting. Definitely worth watching, especially on the big screen.Fabulous elements first:1) The use of the video camera. Even though I felt so seasick after 15 mins that I contemplated leaving the theatre, I…… Continue reading Cloverfield… and a rejection
