Writing mum's voice was a lot of fun. It was a strange channeling of her spirit.

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.

Just some scattershot thoughts on vibes in the air and the artists work to pick them up. Apologies - I'm filming this as a video and I'm slowly adjusting to making stuff up while filming myself (in the car) which blocks me a little. I'll get there.

I forget I'm an old fart sometimes. Most art is tapping the inner child. But I gotta learn to embrace this mulch heap of years I've existed through.

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. He was a massive influence on me as a kid and taught me that humans could actually make magic. Michael's instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/leunigstudio/

Fast thinking is rewarded in life. Slow thinking is rewarded much later in life.. Without writing my thoughts down, nothing would happen. I need to build on thoughts in front of me.

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. Not only for writing but to promote your work, too.

A bunch of times I thought i'd plateaued with my writing. And then, bam! Another level. It can happen after years of banging your head on the same wall, and it can come all at once.

Relaxing is hard work for me. Sometime I feel like who I am is too tied up in the stuff I make. So it's interesting to force myself to just be a person without the magic of creativity.

"YOU'RE GOING TO BE OK... " is probably my favourite book. You can find it in the link below. It's sorta fitting this is me 100th episode. The book is made from bits and pieces from all my poems across all my books. Just the juiciest most combustible lines.
