The musings of an Aussie viewing the World waist high .... from a wheelchair

Doc: “Don’t you mean the touchpad” Me: “Hang on I still type, mostly” Possibly Related Posts: The email I wrote for international day last year Just writing Perhaps *part* of the reason for the neglect of the blog [...]

I now understand better why “they” advise writers to carry a notebook and stop and take notes as soon as inspiration strikes. Yesterday, while trying to kill time I had a sparkle of inspiration.

My “vision” is as varied [...]

Whilst assessing my statistics the other day, I noticed that after nominating myself one month to the Down Under Feminist Carnival I find I have once again been nominated for this. I’m thrilled.

this brief piece is based on a writing exercise based on getting a “Dear John” letter from my favourite piece of furniture. On the website it came from various writers penned letters from sofas and armchairs, scales, toilets and even an electric wheelchair.
