40 is a strange time for writers. It's kind of a cut of point to have a family or go full blast at creativity and 'make it'. Art is a naturally 'selfish' pursuit, it has to come first. But so does family.

Michael Leunig's email he wrote me on finding one's voice is the last 5 minutes if you want to skip to it. Michael Leunig's died a week ago.

It's a contradiction to hold brutality and tenderness while writing, And promoting your work can feel like shouting about your whispers. You need both.

I once read only to learn. Everything else felt like a waste of time. But learning also brings me anxiety.

I often felt lost and unconfident in not knowing what I was doing when I was in my 20s. I still don't know what I'm doing but I'm more confident about it. But a brutal hangover reminded me what it was like to be in my 20s and feel lost for a day... in my 20s I'd experience this feeling without even needing a hangover, and often!TICKETS TO MY LIVE SHOWMy new book: WORKING NINE LIVESWORKING NINE LIVESMy books and prints:Books and printsFind me:My free eBook of poemsYouTubeInstagramTikTok
