Calling all Brisbane writers! In one week at The Coffee Club in West End it is the monthly catch up for the Brisbane Writer's Crew. We have a variety of genres and stages of publication and welcome anyone who wants to talk books and writing. We'd love to see you from 12-3pm, Saturday 30th August.

It was a full table today at our Brisbane Writer's Crew catch-up. So many lovely people with several new faces and many repeat offenders. I came away refreshed and able to put that most recent rejection behind me! If you are in Brisbane and you write or would like to, you are most welcome.

It's that time again, my fellow writers-in-Brisbane, time to gather and talk writing highs and lows, misses and successes. That's right, on Saturday it is the Brisbane Writer's Crew monthly catch-up.
Join us 12-3pm on Saturday, 12th April at The Coffee Club in West End #writers #brisbanewriters

First Brisbane Writer's Crew catch-up for the year! @jendn.bsky.social arrived after proof of life was taken. This group sustains, inspires and nurtures me. Our next catch-up is Feb 15, 12-3pm at The Coffee Club in West End.

I'm sitting on our back patio, wrapped in a blanket (because I'm a wussy Queenslander now) and enjoying the rain. I just love our new house SO much and it's very obliging of the neighbours to have grown that lovely pink frangipani for me to enjoy 😂.

Outlying is (mostly) done and I'm onto my favourite bit, the messy, vomit-y, hand written first Draft, with murders... naturally.

Well...I was wrong. So wrong! We overflowed the table at the November Catch-up of the #BrisbaneWriter'sCrew and there were lots of lovely new faces.
Our last catch-up for the year is December 21st - newcomers absolutely welcome. The arty black and white photos courtesy of @minon.bsky.social

Morning mood!

I feel like this is the epitome of public holiday feels!

I took the kids to Lone Pine today - is this a bit like The Birds?

I'm making chai and I wish you could smell it through the photos!

Today ended with an absolute cracker of an editing session! New dialogue flowed and two characters decided they were going to have a relationship I hadn't planned for them. I've always thought it was a bit naff when people talked about their characters going off on their own but I take it all back!

I'm having one of those days where the things I need to do feel overwhelming. So I don't do them and then feel guilty and stressed, which probably means I'm about to get a migraine 🙄. I did take the kids to my favourite local park which was lovely.

The first post is a lot of pressure! I should begin as I mean to go on - this is today's library haul. Where should I begin?
