The drama! The relief!

In particular, it’s now possible to read the ebook sample of my book, Look Who’s Morphing, right here on my site. And, on the Extras page, I’ve linked to the recording of my piece ‘The Sound of Music’ (also from Look Who’s Morphing) for audio journal Paper Radio. This recording features me reading the piece, with some great sound design by Jon Tjhia.

I have turned into a very lazy blogger these days (I’m more likely to be doing micro-blogging on Twitter) but don’t give up on me. More posts are coming soon.

PS Also, in time, I hope to show you some excerpts from my second book in progress.

Sick of struggling with this short story but then... it's really hard to describe God. At any rate, my mission today: to get closer to God.

Some hours, later…

Update:

About to go home. Am still working on the same damn paragraph, but I've passed the 3000 word mark and, more importantly, I am closer to God.

Tonight, I turned into an angry Asian. Watch out, Ouyang Yu. I'm gonna steal your claim to fame.

"I like Ike" is prob the most memorable rhyming political campaign slogan. I'm having problems finding good words that rhyme with "Tony".

After I tweeted this, a fair few people gave me useful suggestions about what rhymes with Tony. ‘Phony’ was quite popular. I reckon the best of the lot was ‘baloney’ (thanks, kirsty_l). I also appreciated ‘macaroni’ (and various other pasta names) (thanks, Kill Your Darlings). Someone who will remain nameless (and perhaps shameless) was watching porn at the time she was tweeting, and her rhyme suggestion was quite unnecessary although very memorable.

My fiction pieces seem to be getting longer but most of my posts here will be shorter. Due to Twitter, I have really come to enjoy micro-blogging but, hey, why should Twitter get all of my best lines? (This isn’t the end of my longer, more reflective posts though. I like doing those and will still occasionally throw them out here.)

You can also expect to see more pictures, videos and other media here. I’ll now be tagging posts too. In fact, via the gigs tag, you’ll still be able to find out about my latest gigs. (That old favourite, the Melbourne Writers’ Festival parody, has a tag too: writersfestivalparody.) But far more importantly, I hope this website will better reflect the streaming thoughts of my day-to-day artistic practice and life. So consider this blog both a glimpse into and a part of my studio.

There are still more changes to come but this is how it’s looking so far. So, in conclusion, welcome and yay!
