Thanks to this blog, I was offered (and accepted, with inarticulate cries of joy) the opportunity to write a fornightly column for Halo 17, an Australian arts/music/culture site. Which, as far as I’m concerned, is unfathomably awesome, and therefore something everyone else should find awesome, too.
(From this angle, the ultra-devious Small Cat appears to be feigning interest, but maybe that’s just spite at my ongoing refusal to self-combust and explode into easily digestable chunks, which, owing to the nature of my demise, would also be cooked, and if I smashed a bottle of sauce over myself in the process – well, so much the better.)
…That thought ended up at a weirder place to where it started. Sufficed to say, I am now, technically – among other things – a columnist, which sounds approximately 9,437 times cooler than government lemming, would-be novelist or distance student. So now might be a good time to print business cards.
So I can, you know. Business them.
Note To Self: Do not blog after coming home from Bar Open at midnight. Pixies will eat your brain, and incidentally, you will sound like A Crazy Lady. And capitalise at random.
Oh, bollox.

Good luck with the column. It’s an excellent way to discipline yourself into writing regularly, daily. Remember to piss off at least half your readers each installment or you’re not doing your job…
Thanks, Cliff! I shall take your advice to heart. Although if I end up lynched, you are permitted to feel just a teeny shred of guilt. 🙂
Congratulations!! Good for you! Can’t wait to read what you come up with.
Thanks, beej!
How wonderful for you! Congratulations… it appears you are well on your way!
Thanks! I’ve had an inordinate ammount of good writing news lately, so the cheer is definitely flowing. 🙂
