@brsmithbooks.bsky.social has launched a new YouTube series aimed at encouraging aspiring writers who, like her at many points, may feel like giving up on their creative aspirations.
Each week, I’m releasing a video on YouTube discussing a question I asked myself after giving myself one last chance to write a publishable novel. A year after I started this process, I had a novel I was truly proud of, and a wonderful literary agent.

If you prefer to read than watch, there are transcripts for each episode on my website. Episodes release weekly. I truly hope this helps even one person trying to break through. 💛

I’ve been searching for ways to give back to the #writingcommunity that has supported me for so many years, and what I came up with was this: The Last Chance Writer’s Club.

This woman's story is pretty remarkable.

"Ali France, the Labor candidate who is the first person to unseat an opposition leader at an election, is a disability advocate, former journalist and world champion para-athlete.

France lost her eldest son, Henry, to leukaemia last year."
Who is Ali France, the Labor candidate who has unseated Peter Dutton in Dickson?
The 49-year-old disability advocate is the first person to unseat an opposition leader at an election

The most important job of a first line… is to set up the next line. I actually think a first line that is too beautiful, too stunning, that holds you too much in thrall, actually prevents that so-important momentum at the beginning of a book.

I've been using @openvibe.social for a while now and it's always interesting to see which platform I first see posts from out of the three I have linked to it. It would be nice to see a collation of posts in one rather than 3 posts from the same user from three platforms.

First game of Erina for the Rhinos this season complete. Happy to add live replays on the big screen into the arena experience! Also added NetCams, which had a few teething issues, but we'll fix them.

Main drawback continues to be black netting around the ice + video compression = bad time.

You know it's getting close to hockey season when you start racking up 3-4 12+ hour days in a row 😅

Maybe something good will happen. Maybe it won’t. But if it does, it’s going to find me working.

It’s truly insane that the economy is in a free fall and the president, who doesn’t drive, is spending his time giving a PR boost to the car brand of his billionaire buddy.

I've been wanting to make custom name bars for hockey jerseys using fabric letters for as long as I've been responsible for the design of a team's kit.

Today I achieved that goal.

Twill letters, or even twill fabric, is extremely hard to find in Australia, so I ended up making my own.

Lots of REAL interesting player movements this season!
Coming to us from the Sydney Bears, Clare is ready to bring his physical presence and defensive strength to the Mustangs' blue line. He’s eager to hit the ice and get to work:⁠

"Super excited to be a Mustang this year, can't wait to get on the ice and rip in!"⁠

Let’s go, Mustangs!

Mariner is a self-indulgent little mystery/horror novel, so I made myself a self-indulgent little shirt to celebrate.
