July 2016 Writing Calendar
I decided to put this calendar for the month of June together on a whim. And then people loved it. So this is the monster list of everything even remotely writerly and literary that is going on in Perth and WA in the month of July 2016Â from today onwards. So a few quick answers to questions: Will this list always be on this site? MEAA WA is keen to cross-post/host/something along those lines. This will also be cross-posted at Emily Paull‘s site. And possibly on DWOA once we tweak a few things. Can you compile a list for Victoria and Melbourne? Not at this point – no time to spare.…

My Top Seven … Flawed Characters
This list comes to your wonderful eyeballs courtesy of Madame Annabel Smith, she of Whisky Charlie Foxtrot fame. She likes a sassy rogue, a cheeky devil, a lovable larrikin… you get the idea.

2013's very odd resolution list
This being the start of 2013, of course everyone is talking about New Year Resolutions. In fact, come December 1st everyone starts ruminating on this topic. And then of course there is a lot of angst over what one hasn’t done yet and that horrible nagging feeling that somehow you are running out of time to do X, Y and Z and therefore be happy. So in the interests of preserving some sanity here, because let’s be honest, me being me, I have very little sanity or so people tell me, let’s do this differently. What was 2012 like? Well, lets see. It was unexpectedly social at points – in…

The Australian Women Writers Challenge 2013: Suggested Reading List
So I mentioned to a writing group that I am part of on Facebook that I am trying to do this challenge. And I asked them to suggest titles. Because otherwise I was going to be stuck. And they have come up trumps. Now I am only going to review certain books in certain genres so I can say now that I probably won’t get to review all these but YOU can. If you are part of the challenge, then off you go, pick one and get reviewing! If you suggest any titles I will keep updating this list. Author | Book | Genre | Comment if any Kathryn White…
