Well, that was bracing...

And I want to go back I had a fantastic time. Now that I'm back, it's head first into all my assignments and to lesser extent critiques. I've been talking to students services about my impending relocation to Lismore, to live on campus. Big Fun (not).

One of my short pieces has also been picked up by ^fllnthblnk's pet project of awesomeness, The Clearfield Review. Both Amber and Will are always on the look out for uber prose and poetry, so why not go and give this article some well deserved love [link]

I've got some exciting plans myself, so stay tuned.

A brief Hoo Rar!

For the next four days I won't have internet access, as I am going to a five star resort with my two best friends for an insane amount of partying, drinking, dancing and supposed debauchery. All those with my mobile number (which is only a very few of you), you know how to reach me.

Chatroom Retirement. Forum Resurgence. It Never Felt so God Damn Good!

I’m here because...

In the past few weeks, I have wiped my page and slowly built it back up again as I assessed my reasons for being on dA. And they are quite simple now.
I am here to provide critique and to participate in the Lit/Politics Forums. I am also whoring my page out to Lit-Twitter, because I kind of believe that you people don’t want to be bored by my constant and nonsensical tweets. Also, I believe that the little blue bird does a fantastic job and deserves some of my page space.
Simple, direct.

Retirement... (Mostly)

I have come to the (slow)realisation that chatrooms are just a constant cock sucking circle jerk that serve the purpose of allowing pseudo intellectuals air time to voice their many gripes with the world, lit and each other. And that’s all there is to it, really.

Good writing/critique time was getting sucked into a vacuum that was and is dAmn. Not that it doesn’t have its uses, but I’ve decided after a few years of randomness, good times, bad times and just plain frustrating times, I’m retiring my chat hat and reverting back to my forum based status. As the politics folks have seen (eh, *Eman333, bloody bigot ). I may still pop into #seniors, because it’s all pretty general in there. And maybe sometimes getLit. You know, if I feel like a stir.


Gallery...
Has been totally deleted (I should say, stored) as I intend to build a new gallery over the course of however long I stay on dA. A blank slate is always a good way to start and most of the writing displayed was starting to get dated. So new stuff, hopefully


Crit List...

I’ve started to compile a list of deviations from the “Critiqueable” range (is that even a word?!) and lodged them in my bookmarks. Hopefully bulleting them in these journals will be enough motivation to make good on my half arsed vow.

Key = Crit to do Crit Done

Psychosis: Prologue by, *StolenWater
Grief Withdraws, Anger Suffers, by =julietcaesar
Adriel – Frozen Judgement, by *Asaf-e
Wanderlust, by `conorschild
C.O.D, by ~guiltywhiteboy
One Word: Square, by =underaoised


Story Ideas...

I do have a couple of short story ideas floating around in my head, most surprisingly have a lot to do with war and socio political thematic. Some titles include:

Africa (Working Title – Submission piece for a competition).
The Brass

And an extension of The Corruption of Erica Mars, which I will do up in the next couple weeks and post it for your enjoyment and so you get an idea of what kind of YA (Young Adult) characters I’m working with.


Adversity in University...

Well, a few months after moving to the lovely Gold Coast I find out I have to relocate on campus. That’s right, on-campus. Read: Student Accommodation. I went three and a half years avoiding the place like the plague but such is life. It’s a new adventure that I have to take without my long term boyfriend and my comfort zones. I’m going to have to pick up a computer from somewhere, before mid-July...
