It started in the hills near Perth, where he was brought rather quietly and with little fanfare into the world. The farming area tucked in the south-west corner of Western Australia became forever his reference point, but even then the world seemed broad and large, with the fields of wheat stretching to the horizon. But the whole world could not simply have been a field of wheat. There had to be more. So, a foray in the big city, slaving through low-paid jobs, struggling and then succeeding, briefly, to make a sporting career in basketball, until succumbing reluctantly to academia. The history graduate, bored and restless, heads off to see the world. He lands a part-time job with a daily paper in a small Canadian town, convinces major newsp ...more

I think a bigger problem is writer's clock: finding the time to work on whatever project you have, because you balance writing with a job, family, commitments, and everything else that consumes time. Given it's hard to publish and sell books, and that there's little money to be made if you do, it's the rare writer who doesn't have a full-time job, which is why writer's clock is more of a concern than writer's block.

The Uggstralian Diaspora

The two girls come out of the Erotica Boutique Bizarre clutching small, jet-black string bags. I can only imagine what frilly, lacy, racy nothings are in those bags, what sexual gadgetry. The girls lock elbows, giggle in a guttural German way and head west down Hamburg’s infamous Reeperbahn. Their bag contents remain unknown to me, but their footwear is very familiar. Uggs.
