Writing Update: Flavours of Prose
What a month! We had it all: health scares, long-listings, MA assignments, curriculum updates, plays, binge reading, and the ever-encroaching world around us. I had a weird time of it, that’s to be sure. The health stuff really threw me for a loop as it’s the first time I’ve been sick while living in Tokyo…

Writing Update: Backwards in High Heels
Wow, lots of news to share! I have had a hectic start to 2022 as I imagine most of us have. I attended DV Con which was super fun! I made some new friends and learnt a lot about the industry. It was genuinely a very warming experience. I also joined another program for writer…
