Last night I dreamt I was in a
library looking for a book called ‘Hurry up and write, and call a cab we’re
late’ which is just flat out rude, brain. My ability to be distracted is all
your fault!
The weather has been very weird in
Australia; we’ve had cold snaps, dust clouds, and storms so windy they’ve shut
the airport. And even though I had my flu shot I’ve clearly got cold overnight
and I am now barking like a seal. This is my usual cough, don’t worry about it.
It’s a sound so distinctive I once
coughed in a crowded noodle bar in Martin Place and someone stood up and shouted
out my name. It was a big call given I lived in Indonesia at the time. [Hi Jen

Speaking of brains, more ideas for
the idea box.
Someone has the job of being an
intimacy coordinator. They choreograph sex scenes for movies and plays, like a
fight choreographer does a fight. And this is a good thing; no hands in the
wrong places, eh?
But imagine…? Imagine what people
think they do with that job? It’s like telling people you write erotica and
they think you’re trying it out on your partner all the time. Stephen King is
not a serial killer is he? I’ve written fanfiction threesomes with werewolves,
not HAD a threesome with werewolves. Werewolves don’t exist.
That reminds me, I am SO tempted
to ask the person who stole that story why they posted my story as their own. They
are still a member of Wattpad but all their works have been removed. I suppose
it would be interpreted as abusive, but I really am genuinely interested in how
that works for a person; to steal someone else’s work? I mean, the whole thing
- word for word. I’ve probably written paragraphs that sound like other people’s
work, and hasn’t everyone written ‘he let out a breath he didn’t know he was
holding’?
Speaking of, I saw a Twitter convo
on that sentence being shat upon by everyone as trite. It’s a fear reaction:
fight, flight or freeze. So it’s a valid thing for a lot of people, including
me.
