✍️Writers talk about keeping a story 'real,' but what if the story involves a home robbery and a policeman finding a female pleasure device on the front lawn?💥This sassy tale came up during an online author chat/writing workshop with the Pascoe Vale gals book club, Melbourne. After some laughter, we discussed the fear of sharing words from vulnerable places. These book-addicts, well-versed in good storytelling, surprised themselves with just ten minutes to write (and less time to worry):✨"The framed photo of my grandma in the hallway. I look for the dreams in her. The history of women before her. I see myself." ✨"My rings are interlaced, stories of cobblestoned streets in France, the moments of being nowhere." ✨"I left my home without a bra." ✨"I did it. I called the pet psychic." ✨"Friendship can disappear like ashes."Thanks for the chuckles and chats: Nicole, Angela, Michelle, Mandy, Deb, Narelle, and Tanya.

Comedy doesn’t just shine a spotlight; it illuminates with insight and delight.Sunday was a masterclass, thanks to my comic genius friend @justinesless. At the @radiusarthepburn in Daylesford for the @wordsinwinter Writer's Festival (Sunday), we delivered a panel re humour and storytelling. Justine also performed a brilliant stand-up set comparing dating to buying property. Creative sparks flew, the group spinning magical tales featuring a supermarket at midnight and a duck named Radar.Weekend highlights: ✨the abusive Tarot cards, ✨car chakras and ✨a fluorescent-vested super-hero at a Bacchus Marsh service station, who offered us his caravan park toilets during a Seventh Day Adventist convention... . . . #womenwhowrite #womenwriters #femalewriter #femalewriters #australianauthor #aussieauthor #authorslife #storiesoftheeveryday #spilledwords #goodlaughs #writingskills #writingmotivation #writinglove #ilovewriting #lovetowrite #writersworld #writingsociety #writercommunity #writerscircle #fictionwriter #fictionwriting #literaryfiction #booksaremylife #readinglife #readerlife #bookwormlife #booknerds #bookreading #readingcorner #whattoreadnext

8 million dollars raised over 30 years...😮 These magnificent women (and a few men folk) from the GV hospice op shop Shepparton devote time, hard work and love so that people who need palliative care are provided with round the clock support with no costs. A special high tea was served (with gorgeous table displays from op shop goodies like old china and fabrics). Mum enjoyed seeing old friends and the tributes to others, tales of colourful op shop dramas a la 'disappearing' items! Another example of precious contributions from older people to community...❤️#gvhospice #gvvolunteers #gvhospiceopshop
