Zazzle shop

Now that Zazzle has tools to create many products at once, I'm spending more time in my zazzle shop:

Come and have a browse!

New shop open at zazzle

I've taken the plunge and opened a zazzle shop, firstly focusing on gifts for writers.


make custom gifts at Zazzle



When I should be writing, I'm thinking about more great products for writers. But guess I actually have to do some more writing for Nanowrimo to be a writer, instead of just wearing a t-shirt or drinking from a 'writers' mug.

Do Not Disturb

Another poem from the black and white series. DO NOT DISTURB

I composed another poem last week during our writers' retreat. I hadn't planned on doing any collage poetry while I was away and I didn't take any magazines with me. However, I discovered an envelope full of words in the side of my suitcase, words I must've cut out when I was in Adelaide and composed a poem to cheer up Jen, who has moved to Melbourne, and hasn't yet found the life she was looking for. It's incredible how the right words were exactly what I needed.

I've purchased some old Dolly mags off ebay (from the 80's) because I want Nicky, the character from my novel Diary of the Future, to construct some more teen-angst collage poems. But I've yet to receive them. I emailed the seller two weeks ago and she said she'd send them in a couple of days but I'm still waiting.... Grrr!
