The 100 greatest novels of all time is actually quite disheartening to prospective authors. It's already settled... for all time.

Does every person trying to lose weight get a sales person who point out, "I'll pop the receipt in, in case you need to change the size."

If you are a coastal tourist town that lives on your gorgeous views. Maybe bury the power lines? The ocean, sands and trees are pretty enough on their own.

Ordered three chicken wings at a takeaway, and I'd literally paid and turned to look out the window and chef walks out to hand me my order. He'd made them for himself, but bagged them for me. You know that's the good stuff 😂

There is currently an axiom in the literary world that men-aren't-reading. Meanwhile, the tech companies are asking us to hand over our ability to create, to think. So folks can either throw away what makes them unique... or read more, learn more, then create... as only you can.

Poets love a rhyming word, but do they even think about how they are affecting Wordle players? Having four out of five with *LARE or *EARD is bad enough, but a four letter word like *ALL can ruin a day. Is all this moving lyrical wordplay worth it?

Nothing except doom gets interactions these days, so lets go. - You don't look good in all hats. - You aren't quite as good a dancer as you think you are. - You're never going to remember that one song lyric correctly. - Dogs think you are cool, just not fun. - You hate when things are cut shor

Wait up. There was a third 'The Mummy' movie that wasn't 'The Scorpion King'. If I know about the Scorpion King, but not about this other one, then surely that doesn't bode well... or maybe it bodes mid?

As far as I know, as kids, most of us were taught by parents to share and be kind, and then at some point half of us started cheering for the people that can hoard the most wealth... seems like what the parents were saying was important.

Wait. Youtube added the ability to thumbs up the video while it is playing fullscreen, so you don't miss anything... and you can check the comments while watching the video. Those are actually nice quality of life changes that benefit everyone. That's weird right?

A bit of home town pride. Some of Canberra's most distinguished landmarks in LEGO form

Canberra landmarks made of Lego - Telstra Tower, the War Memorial, the Carillion and Australian Parliament House.

With today's discord hack. It should be obvious that giving our official government ID's for age verification, to dozens of websites with lax security would always end in disaster. Perhaps Governments could issue tokens that verify our ages based on information they already hold? Also seems obvious.

Really excited to see where the #DCU is headed with tomorrows #Peacemaker season finale. Hoping the 11th Street kids can find some emotional peace after a season of discovery. Loving what DC is delivering and everyone involved should be so proud of what they are putting out.

Massive thanks to the organisers of Conflux-19 here in Canberra. The effort that goes into bringing panelists and participants together to discuss a shared love of creativity and writing, is easily missed between discussions. None of it happens without volunteers, and it is appreciated. #Conflux19

My take on the challenges of writing, self doubt, hostile criticism... even depression. All trying to stop you reaching your place in the Sun.

A stylised sailing ship trying to reach a sunset, hindered by choppy seas, encroaching dark, tearing sails and a tentacle reaching out of the deep.

A lasting first impression should be evocitive, and spelt correctly.
