I am moving across to Blue Sky, @alialight88.bsky.social Hope to catch up with some of my writer friends there!

The first Friday of the month/year really creeps up on you! Happy to have submitted to #furiousfiction, written between several sets of tennis. Loved the prompts & think I came up with something unusual! Good luck to all!

LEGENDS OF THE SKIES 12: I've written much of the content for this year's production, celebrating the 90th anniversary of the London to Melbourne Air Race. Putting the race rules to the tune of the Hokey Cokey proved challenging! trybooking.com/events/landin…

After returning from a month overseas on Friday, enduring 24 hours on a plane and then losing another hour this morning, I was quite pleased I managed to submit to #furiousfiction. I started at 4am today. 😵‍💫 Good luck, everyone! I include a random photo from my travels!

Surprised to find time to enter #furiousfiction this weekend as I'm away in Canberra. I used the brief period when the rest of the family was at the football. Saved me agonising over every word as I usually do! Good luck to everyone!

Final night of the 1812 Board Shorts Festival, which included my play State of Purity. Catching up with cast and director after the performance!

A nice surprise to be on the long list with #30words30days friends! Special congrats to @rat_ink! Thanks to @Writers_Vic for unleashing #pyrite on the writing community - an ongoing source of inspiration!

My story 'Provenance' was awarded 3rd Prize! Its own provenance was a #furiousfiction piece which had to feature an egg, elephant & railway station (and didn't win anything!) I also took out a raffle prize! Thanks @SocietyofV and judge Rachel Matthews.

My next venture! My dystopian play State of Purity is included in the Board Shorts Festival. 🤩

Wishing everyone all the best for this month's #furiousfiction! I chose an athletics setting for my story. It's one of the few sports I know anything about. I even have lowly coaching and officiating qualifications, not that I've practised either recently! 🥇

Happy June ##furiousfiction! This month's prompts inspired a Gothic vein (though I could probably say that most months!). Good luck to everyone!

Delighted that my play 'Mockingbird' was selected as one of 3 OAP winners in the Warrandyte Theatre Comp. Performances 21/6 to 6/7. trybooking.com/events/landin…

Good luck to all entering this month's #furiousfiction! I discovered this morning that my event occurred at nearly midnight and had to tweak my story so that the action happened on the same day!

Many thanks to @WritingDani for all the work she's put into organising our #30words30days challenge. I've enjoyed so many wonderful stories this past month, be they poignant, hilarious, thought-provoking, with beautiful photos or #pyrite in-jokes, or about dystopian ducks.🦆🥰

Thrilled that a staged reading of my new short play ‘The Price of Beauty’ is included in Melbourne Writers’ Theatre’s SCRIPTS @ THE DOCK. If you're local, please come! Free admission. Sat 4thMay. melbournewriterstheatre.org.…

‘This is green.’ Pallid, grey-clad children gather open-mouthed in the Subterranean Museum of Colour. The elderly curator mourns: these youngsters will never glimpse a rainbow or tumble in fresh-mown grass. #30words30days #green @WritingDani

John’s strong warm arms enfold her in the Memory Room. Odorifics recreate his familiar scent. Yet sophisticated though the deep-fake technology is, it cannot capture her dear departed husband’s essence. #30words30days #essence

6.24 key in the door 6.28 dinner on plate 6.31 she’s done something wrong 6.37 prays to heaven hearth to hearth, smashes to smashes earth to earth, ashes to ashes. #30words30days #earth @WritingDani

Catching up with the Melbourne Writing Crew for a picnic and readings in the Carlton Gardens! Now I'd better get home and write my #30words30days entry!
