We had interstate visitors last week, which was great, but it meant I got very little done. I’m up to the end of Act 1 in the re-write anyway, so it’s coming along. I’ve also had a chance to start on my second poetry book, as it’s something that’s been sitting there half-done for a long time now. I need to write many more poems of course, but once I start writing poetry it is something I really love to do.

Another distraction has been editing work, but that’s okay too as I need the gold dust. It still seems odd to me to be sitting here in South Australia editing a document for someone in Turkey, and even though I’ve never actually met him, he seems like an old friend. After that it was editing a document for someone in Japan!

I’m also studying and finally got up to date last night with Edgar Allan Poe. His stories are great because they stimulate the imagination – so much is suggested, and so little actually said. I will write some reviews. No – that’s yet another distraction. I must get back to my play!
