For background on the Sunday Circle, see this post. What am I working on this week? I'm starting re-writes this week on The Big Literary Novel. It's a bit of a scary prospect given it's a manuscript with a lot of pressure attached to it - I've received funding in the past to work on… Continue reading Sunday Circle

This profile of Alejandro G. Inarritu is a fascinating insight into an artist. Fresh Romance is kickstarting a print version of their first run of comics! You should defs support - I know I have. Girls at Library (or GAL) is an awesome new website exploring women, their… Continue reading Friday Finds
Heinui FW 2015
Heinui collections always make me happy. It's just a really woman-friendly line, with beautiful prints and lovely silhouettes. This Fall/Winter collection actually looks more like a Spring/Summer - it operates on a cooler pallette instead of those autumnal tones, and I kind of love it all the more for it. Plus, y'know, I'd give an… Continue reading Heinui FW 2015
Sunday Circle #2

I did what I wanted to - finishing the second act of my science fiction screenplay, and then the third, and I am genuinely happy with the state of the… Continue reading Sunday Circle #2

I've been pretty compulsively listening to the Criminal Podcast this week. It's really compelling case studies on different elements of crime and criminal activities - from the nature of lying and proving a lie to animal's being tried for crimes. The Stella Longlist has been announced! So much awesome to read here. I especially… Continue reading Friday Finds

I watched The Babadook for the first time about two weeks ago. For a horror fan, that has to be pretty abysmal, right? It’s two years old now and is easily one of the most critically acclaimed horror movies in recent memory. Plus – Australian. Spoilers ahoy! If you aren't familiar with it, the movie… Continue reading On Changing Perspectives in The Babadook
Oscars Year 14
The 14th Academy Awards had very few changes or scandals about it - an interesting fact given how shrouded in both the awards were at this point in history (and still are). That said, there were a few things worth noting - for starters, this is the first year documentaries were introduced to the ceremony,… Continue reading Oscars Year 14
What I Read January
So, this hasn't exactly been the strongest start to my reading year. I've been pretty swamped with work and organising my sister's baby shower, which has meant I've tended to fall into bed at night instead of reading for a while like I normally would. That said, I did read two pretty terrific books, and two… Continue reading What I Read January
