Armchair travel: finding writers' retreats around the world

Checking out Writers' retreats in various countries is a kind of 'armchair travel' I really enjoy. I've been doing a bit of it in last week or two, and have already posted a few sites including 'Varuna' in the Blue Mountains outside Sydney. Not all retreats are specially set up for writers -they might be general health retreats, artists' colonies that also welcome writers or even Bed&Breakfast places. Readily-accessed photos showing scenic surrounds was one of my search criteria for this lis… Continue

Happy New Year! and happy reading!

Hi everyone,

First of all: Happy New Year!
Just as important: all the very best for a Personal Best Creative Year in 2010. Granted that comes true for us, Scriberspace will be one seriously buzzing, creative, inspiring and fun online place to be. :)

In the last weeks of '09, I was thinking about the kinds of publications, bookshops and websites I most often check out (or if not often, go to them for the more obscure titles, review essays, interviews with writers etc) for info about reading mat… Continue

2009 John Marsden Prize for Young Australian Writers

Yesterday, the winners of the 2009 John Marsden Prize for Young Australian Writers was announced. Continuing Scriber-Space's winning streak, as established by the illustrious Tim Roberts, my poem 'The Wolves Go' was awarded as Highly Commended. :)

John Marsden had this to say:

'This is a disturbing, beautifully written poem. From the opening line we know we are in interesting hands. Ominous, sinister, but a work of art. The poet plunders old stories to take us into a world where nothing is saf… Continue

Micro-story for Christmas: 'Who needs a pine tree?'

Hi folks,

Here's the full micro-story, all 140 words of it:


'Who needs a pine tree?'

On the last mail day before Christmas, Kirk-the-emerging-writer is desperate for his result in a writing contest. It'll be make-or-break news for Christmas, too.

He perches on the lowest step of his unit block's stairwell, strains his hearing for a hint of the postie's bike. Tyres on cement, a small engine throttles down: Kirk is ready to receive! The postie hands him a few envelopes and movie magazines, th… Continue

Good writing news: my Christmas-themed micro-story in print

*Happy dance* Had a Christmas-themed micro-story included in newest issue of e-news put out by ACT Writers' Centre. First micro-story I'd tried writing (and finished) in nearly a couple of months.

The story is titled 'Who needs a pine tree?' - about an emerging writer who gets some big news just before the Christmas mail deliveries stop.

Hope the last weeks of 2009 give a lot of happy writing news to Sspace members.

Cheers
Tim
