A friend put me onto Storify - a useful way to present an assortment of links from facebook, youtube, online newspapers, tumblr, blogs, and flickr. It reminds me of scrapbooking only it's digital, quick and dead easy. Others can enjoy your websearches on any set topic. Here is my first storify effort - Cyclone Yasi and its Aftermath.Enjoy this assortment. I'll be doing a few more of these -

It's easy to have one major storyteller in a family - as one person may be naturally good at it. However, there are many sides to a story and multiple perspectives can be illuminating.The above video is my son's perspective on Cyclone Yasi.You can find the story of my family in the cyclone from the parent's perspective mostly in the house that shook although the kids view comes through as we

Special visitors came to the Cassowary Coast after Cyclone Yasi to see how people doing - this is what happened when they went to one local school.Features - Graeme Connors (country singer), Robert Rose(basketballer), and Brendan Porter (Australian Rotary Health), Feluga State School, Julie Headlam.This is one of my recent video documentaries.I have been captivated by the art of editing, camera

I am re-establishing this blog so I can place video embeds and other work samples here from my other blogs.Some blogs make you pay a fee for this privilege but blogger doesn't. So this is a good space to show case my digital storytelling efforts and upcoming poetry films.Here is a poster - which is a digitally altered photograph and some of my poetry. I am doing a lot more creations like this

After 180 pages with no plan other than a basic plot outline, I have decided that I have written a culture, a bunch of characters that I adore (far too many) and I know which passages are in the flow. My world is visual, alive, vibrant, and I just love lots of it. If I am pleased than hopefully my reader will be too. I don’t know what I am doing, just that I am being written by my novel.

So sometimes working from our own imaginations is simply not enough.

Dear Readers,I am in the middle of Nanowrimo, writing a novel month. I am in the company of SFC - the soul food community, that is 9 of us are doing it- wow. From blogging to novel. Is it really such a leap? Another friend from another writing group is also doing it. She's sent me a lovely email and it's inspiring to get support like this.
