booklist
I am such a rockstar.
Was up 'til 5am reading Cardigan Press' latest anthology.
All Nighter
Its divided into sections. And though I resolved to reach two am*, given I started reading at one I didn't quite make it. Took me several hours and a slice of cold pizza just to get past 8 o'clock, to tell the truth.
Isn't that a confusing paragraph.
*the reason being that's where Ryan's story is. It was him, not so coincidentally, who lent me the book.
Its good though. You should check it out.
Also yesterday I read The Divine Wind - our novel for school. Devoured it in one day out of principle. Its a grand total of 200 pages with characters and a sequence of events that can be cut down as easily as Rowan of Rin.
(I actually adore Rowan of Rin. But you don't study that in y11)
Aand the day before I read Swallow the Air by Tara June Winch (UQP). The ending was pure brilliance. Hellova lotta similes though. To generalise unforgivably, I don't normally like Indigenous writing, but this was good.
I have been home for the last three days.
There is a certain niceness to it.
My window open, letting in the smell of the rain.
Wrote a short story which I think I like. It was great just to be writing again. Creatively. Ideas building on each other, characters developing themselves out of the vaguest impressions.
This is me at my best. Content and creative.
Producing stuff
Proof of ..I dunno. Something important.
