it takes two, baby…
Each month my writers group meets. Over coffee we share stories of pitching success, frustration over black hole syndrome, compare notes about editors who respond quickly, editors who respond slowly and editors who quite simply don’t respond. We share ideas, tips and support. Today we covered everything from writing for magazines to novels to copywriting to…

Just a Little Bit of History Repeating Itself…
It’s June 1993. Things haven’t been good for a while. Actually, that is an underestimation. Things have been crap for the last 9 months. Since we moved up from Canberra, that is. We finally bought our house and moved our furniture and our dog up from Canberra a few weeks ago- in May. So 8…

Someday Soon
There is a point in time when a nasty case of the “untils” and “whens” turn into a more potentially chronic, and infinitely more dangerous, case of the “why me’s” or more accurately, the “why not me’s.” You know the thing- “I can’t do x until….”, “I will do y when…” and then you see…

Slipping Through My Fingers
Tomorrow is Mothers Day, and I posted something about Mothers Day and the Moon and Mum etc yesterday. The day is about our kids, the 5th house- but not just the snotty nosed fruits of our loins (naturally my gorgeous 14 year old is no longer snotty nosed)- appreciating those who created their privileged existence…

things my mother taught me…
Me & my Mum I posted this last year for Mothers Day, and you know what? The sentiments haven’t changed. So, in time for Mothers Day on Sunday, here’s a little about Mum and Moon. April Elliott Kent posted one of the best blogs I have read recently around Mother and Moon aspects in the…

In the Darkness of Your Dreams
You gotta love it when NASA starts talking dirty about the swollen orbs of a Full Moon. This one is huge- the Moon, that is…about 14% larger than any other full moon of 2012…at least it will appear to be 14%-17% larger (depending, I guess, on your idea of size and perspective). Why? Because the…

left to my own devices
Absolutely Fabulous, Series 4- the Detox episode. On a girls night out, which is every night frankly, because no one has a man, the girls are talking about how every racehorse needs a donkey (symbolically speaking) as 2 racehorses in the same stable would, as Patsy so eloquently put it, “kick the shit out of…

You’ll Get Worms…
I’ve heard it said that Libra is just Aries who has been to charm school, or Aries with better manners and fashion sense, or Aries with a velvet glove. The point is, there isn’t a huge amount of different between the two once you get below the surface- but then, that is the case for…

Let it Be: Full Moon in Virgo
I interrupted my husband (he was busy cooking dinner…a thai green curry, in case you are interested…) to ask him what I can say about this Full Moon. He paused to make out that he was considering my question seriously. ‘Well,’ he said, with great authority, ‘it is round and it is big…’ Wow- such…
