... it's just like that game you play in school, I'm going on a picnic, where you'd start with the first letter of the alphabet and you'd say I'm going on a picnic and I'm going to bring and you name something you'd bring to a picnic starting with A, and then it would go to the next person and they would say I'm...

She called it nesting, which I guess makes some kind of sense. Making room. Reclaiming spaces. Remove distraction. Creating comfort and making a house a home. A place to create.
My usual after work routine runs something along the lines of; return home, change from my work clothes into comfortable, feed Toby and then perhaps myself, and then take my place on my couch,...

Mark-san,
I'll try to be brief as time is of the essence.
Your spot as Ouroboros is assured until I start really getting moving on it. I'd love for you to do it, and I think you'd be perfect but the only real hurdle in my mind was the logistics thing. Perth. Sydney. Rehearsals. Shooting. Y'know, the usual.
Pissing in my pocket is all good, your urine is sweetest of all.
Matias and I had a little chat with the production house on Monday (during lunch at this music video shoot) and their interest was peaked so I think it will get read now. I've just got to get a synopsis and that sort of bullshit out to the guy which I plan to do before lock down commences.
I'm going to be typing too and I'll probably end up with smaller complete stories rather than one large one. But yeah, I'm following your lead all the way: the plan is to just write.
Will be in touch, you do the same.
Blake.

I am living this motivation thing right now. I hope it keeps going for you, I will try and send you some motivational vibes. 
... and now, for something completely different.
Think of it as limbering up. Stretching. A jog before the marathon. A test of endurance. Just to see if I still have it in me. I've been gone for so long, I'm not even sure if I can do this anymore. This is me running up stairs. This is me punching meat in cold storage.
Only, y'know,...

General excitement. I have NO PLOT. NOTHING AT ALL. I dreamt about characters last night, and a trip down a road that led to somewhere the character didn't expect. And there was a crone. And bright orange flowers. Not really what 50,000 words looks like, is it? Hymmm...
It will be fine. I will write and stuff will happen. I LOVE THE DARES!!!!! I will have a character attack another with toast. Definitely.

I'm reading your words, but all I'm thinking about is chicken...
Happy Friday.

I'd completely forgotten about them until a couple of nights ago and then, as if in a dream, my fingers led me to the youTube-y goodness that is the ponies. It was magical.
Also, are you doing NaNoWriMo this year?

As promised, a Toby update. I've been feeling rather nostalgic of late, spending a bit of time flicking through old photos and what-not. And I figured, since it's been a while since he got a mention, I'd do some sort of Toby retrospective.
Also, part two of my musical history is taking ages, and I'm hoping cute cat pics will offer a suitable distraction.

I've had such a cat day today. Hi toby!

Let's skip all that music is my life crap, shall we? We all know the clichs, so there's really no point. If you don't like music, you have no soul. I don't care who you are, but everyone has at least one song that moves them in a way they can't explain. Or that signposts a significant moment in their life. If...

I also like it when it rains outside and everyone holes up inside with DVDs and video games and snack food. It is really delightful. I like it especially when we're camping and it's storming outside so we have to stay in the tent or car or trailer and play cards and talk. It's so much fun. I am a sucker for close human companionship in small groups!
After Melbourne I'm going to Brisbane for Christmas, then back to Sydney for NYE until I leave.
*jumps up and down all bouncy like*
You don't have to hope, I assure you I'm smiling. Lots.
Thank you so very much
