I’m impressed. Not so good at planning myself (god the thought of those excel spreadsheets makes me squirm) and so love to see others come up with plans and stick to them.
no haven’t heard of Nanowrimo …thanks for the tip. I will google it.

I can see “Nike” like “Ike” but I _cannot_ get my head around Hee youun day. But then I tried to say it to my Aussie friend Mark who instantly started making fun of me saying “Hun-day.” But then he makes fun of everything I say, which is what makes him Aussie.

Tippler’s seafood. I love their calamari. I’ve been here since January and most things are still new to me.

And I can’t start on the novel yet. Them’s the rules: 50,000 words in November and not a minute sooner. Are you a writer? Do you know about Nanowrimo? Because it’s perhaps the very very best thing ever. You should try it.

And don’t forget aussies say Nike (as in Ike) rather than nikeeee…..

It’s interesting reading your writing about brisbane, about other things, and about writing. I wonder if you think blogging is a form of avoidance from the task you think you “should” be doing – eg the novel.

I just returned dvds to the same shops, got our dinner from the same place – Tipplers seafood is it called? It is strange reading you speak of this place as a new experience – it is so everyday and familiar to me….I like to try to imagine it as a new place.
