City Grids Rearanged

French artist Armelle Caron's “Everything Tidy” series taking famous city grid structures and deconstructing them as New York above.

The Daily Show... Now in Oz

If like me, your heart was ripped apart when the ABC stopped screening The Daily Show and Colbert Report (because you can't actually view episodes from Australia without finding an often unreliable pirate streaming site) then check out this link, and then get viewing!

The Kids do Star Wars

A few amazing sketches by my inspiring and irrepressible daughter (7) including a lunch bag she made for her brother, for his recent solo trip interstate.

My son's (4) recently decide to go beyond the defiant scribble to produce these 'corkers' of R2-D2 & C3-P0.

By the way- I didn't 'force' them to do these!

Neil Gaiman’s 8 Rules of Writing

From Brain Pickings is Neil Gaiman’s 8 Rules of Writing

1. Write
2. Put one word after another. Find the right word, put it down.
3. Finish what you’re writing. Whatever you have to do to finish it, finish it.
4. Put it aside. Read it pretending you’ve never read it before. Show it to friends whose opinion you respect and who like the kind of thing that this is.
5. Remember: when people tell you something’s wrong or doesn’t work for them, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what they think is wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong.
6. Fix it. Remember that, sooner or later, before it ever reaches perfection, you will have to let it go and move on and start to write the next thing. Perfection is like chasing the horizon. Keep moving.
7. Laugh at your own jokes.
8. The main rule of writing is that if you do it with enough assurance and confidence, you’re allowed to do whatever you like. (That may be a rule for life as well as for writing. But it’s definitely true for writing.) So write your story as it needs to be written. Write it ­honestly, and tell it as best you can. I’m not sure that there are any other rules. Not ones that matter.
