As a storyteller I will always be invested in creating a good story. Personally, I think game developers need to employ authors and not just game writers to help them with creating their external and internal stories. Here’s a perfect example of why I’m saying this. This is what I look like at level 11 […]
Color Run: Happiest 5km Run
November 30, 2014 by
This weekend I participated in the Color Run. It’s marketed as the “Happiest 5km on the Planet” I can vouch for that! It’s certainly a lot of fun! It’s also marketed as “a unique paint race that celebrates healthiness, happiness and individuality”. This is another thing I can support. Runners can be as individual as […]
Characters: Writing the Opposite Sex
November 4, 2014 by
I write this post as author more so than an emerging screenwriter. Yes, I have written male characters in many of my short stories and novels. Sometimes it has been more challenging than expected and sometimes it has not been challenging at all. It depends on the character and my ability to know what makes […]
Swelling with Sculptures

Last month I was back volunteering for the Swell Sculpture Festival 2014. This is a festival where local, national and international artists display their work as an outdoor exhibition for the public to enjoy. For two weeks over 50 sculptures came to rest on the beachfront. Sculptures made from wood, metal, stone, clay, glass and […]
Brisbane Hosts OZ Comic-Con
September 9, 2014 by
On the weekend I attended OZ Comic-Con. It was the first OZ Comic-Con held in Brisbane. While I’ve attended many conventions over the years it was nice to attend the first Comic-Con in the beautiful city of Brisbane. The other bonus, I had been selected as a volunteer for the event. Everyone knows my belief […]
Climbing the Mountain

It’s important to have challenges in your life. It’s even better if you get to choose your challenge and work towards achieving your goals with focus and motivation. There is something liberating and yet opposing about these three words. “Choose your challenge” Do you choose the easy way or the more challenging way? Ultimately, it’s […]
Reflections about Writing
July 3, 2014 by
A few months ago I was asked to write a series of reflections about writing for an author blog interview. Funnily enough, I didn’t use the following reflections because I decided to think about them a little more deeply. You might say to digest their meaning. The words were important enough to write so maybe […]
Roll up, roll up, the festival is in town!
June 16, 2014 by
Sunday wrapped up the last day of the Gold Coast Writers Festival. It was a huge week filled with lots of wonderful creative talents, great information, inspirational thinking and the odd “out of the box” experience. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I was lucky enough to participate in the Write it Write NOW program, a […]
Bodybuilding…New World, New Words, New Experience.
May 27, 2014 by
As writers we have to acknowledge that our writing journey will require a certain amount of commitment, determination and focus. Yes, knowledge in the craft of writing is also important, but we should remain aware that learning is always and forever present in our lives. We should never stop the act of acquiring new knowledge […]

Rock, Disco, Pop and House being the unique zones incorporating music, laser lights, DJs and dancers. Participants can choose their level of pace either to walk, jog or run. Entrants can also outfit themselves in a […]
