Hi all, Hope you're doing well, in one way or another. When Naomi sent me a facebook message today that included a mention of a new feature re: 'found words', it reminded me I hadn't visited Scriberspace recently and it was time to change that. . A…

Thanks Tim! If you missed it it is on the ABC website's online tv thing, but it does eat a bit of download.

Tim Roberts commented on Tim Roberts's blog post ''An empty pavilion''
Greatly appreciated, Natalie and Gemma. It's a real pleasure to get this feedback. It was in fact an unusally meditative kind of writing experience and I think part of that was thanks to seeing the photo again, as it reminded me of the experience of…

Serenity. I let out a contented sigh after reading this. The beauty is in its simplicity. Nice work. :)

Gemma Louise commented on Tim Roberts's blog post 'fyi: new issues of established (US-based) writers' magazines'
Alas I am a starving impoverished bohemian writer, but those magazines do sound a good find, I will keep an eye out for them when I gain employment again! I think I have bought writer's digest before. I will just stick with the QWC magazine for now…

Gemma Louise commented on Tim Roberts's blog post ''An empty pavilion''
I like this very much, it has a calming meditative effect. I was a little unsettled by the lack of capitals in the second and fouth lines of the poem, but you may have your reasons for choosing not to capitalise these. Even without looking at your…

Hi all The recent release of results for annual Bulwer-Lytton Bad Sentence Contest 'inspired' me to try* one myself: When the expensively-swimsuited Catriona saw the turd in the surf, it reminded her - with a sudden and truly cliche-worthy horror -…

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…

Tim Roberts commented on Tim Roberts's blog post 'Happy New Year! and happy reading!'
You're very welcome, Naomi. I was indeed siezed by an impulse to get something new written on 1 January to start a more creative year. Viral? Well, hopefuly there'll be some virtual-viral effect in Scriberspace. :) Next time I come to Brissie I'll t…

This is fabulous, Tim. Some useful resources here. Thanks so much for posting the links. You've certainly started the new year with loads of energy. Is it viral? Come closer...I'd like to catch it:)

FYI, from 'Poets&Writers' online edition

Hi all,


Hope you're doing well, in one way or another.


When Naomi sent me a facebook message today that included a mention of a new feature re: 'found words', it reminded me I hadn't visited Scriberspace recently and it was time to change that. <sheepish look; :)>.



Anyhow, here's some info and possibly interesting links to stories and news in the writing world in general and in the US, from the online edition of 'Poets & Writers' (US) magazine:

fyi/reminder: 'First Tuesday Book Club' on ABC1 tonight

Hi all,



Hope things are going well in and out of the writing world.



Doesn't seem a month ago to me, since the last 'First Tuesday' show on ABC1, but if you enjoy it then tonight's episode offers: guests Colm Toibin and Lionel Shriver, books: 'Reading by Moonlight' by Brenda Walker (new) and Jane Austen's 'Pride & Prejudice' as the classic.




cheers

'An empty pavilion'

From a thousand possible lines of sight
in this serene setting,
I choose one that leads
to an empty pavilion.

***********
This poem refers to and was inspired by the Chinese Gardens in Sydney [the ones in Darlinghurst]. Tonight, though, I wasn't thinking so directly about Wang Wei* or indeed any other T'ang poet and started drafting the poem with aim of developing a theme through several sets of lines.

I might still write those extra lines soon, but t

fyi: new issues of established (US-based) writers' magazines

Hi



Once again, I treated myself to a couple of new issues of established writing-related magazines while out shopping after work last Friday. The contents listed on coveres were just too tempting:



- 'Poets & Writers' print edition has a major focus on writing contests for the May/June '10 issue and crime writer Scott 'Presumed Innocent' Turow writes about new personal projects and how some of them rel

Hi

HI everyone,

Hope you've been enjoying the long weekend in one way or another, even if that's just a feeling of relief that you had some extra time to make headway on a project of some kind or catch up with stuff you'd had to put to one side for a while.


Cheers, and all the best for any and all writing projects underway! :)

Thanks for the friend request, Tim. And no worries about the poem. One of my blogs that I posted, entitled "Mortality" is one of my many attempts at minimal poetry that you might like to have a peek at. :)
As for the well-wishes for a happy Friday and weekend... same to you. Peace. :)

Hey Tim. If you go to settings on the right, you can make your own profile page, it can run a few apps, take images and video etc. Let me know if I can promote an event on the events box.
