Born to write?

so what happens when you aren’t.. — I don’t belive people are born to write. Tessa does. Let’s talk about that. Does that mean you’re not worthy to communicate with others (with the written word)? To not even try? Have you not heard of voice typing? It’s a thing these days. …

The Privilege of Education

and the arrogance and bias developed while getting it.. — “ Essentially, if you haven’t worked out how to write by the time you’re ten or eleven, forget it. You don’t have the command of language, and no writing course is going to teach you that. That’s my opinion, anyway.” said Tessa Schlesinger And she said more too if you’d…

Best GameLit / LitRPG Audible for 10yr old?

What should we grab with our credit this month? — What’s a 10 year old doing listening to GameLit/LitRPG books anyway? Even worse, one with a specific interest in the dungeon core sub-genre. How on earth did that interest develop? Well, blame their parents, and of course Minecraft. Oh and Dungeon Warfare on both Switch and Android (DW2 there). And…

We’re going to lose all the boys

Again.. — “They don’t remember,” said the little old lady to her wizened friend as she leaned over a piece of cloth. I overheard the words whilst visiting the craft shop to buy scraps of cloth for our kids to learn sewing with just after ANZAC day. The upset women then proceeded…

The Sandpit

Toys are expensive. Sand — not so much. And we’re not talking about making war in the Middle East! — Our sandpit is one of the best investment we ever made in play equipment for our kids. Not that we actually bought the sand to be a sandpit. Sandpit pits are great. But no one really talks about them. Is it because they’re boring? Is it because they’re not something…

Why we paint our daughter’s nails

She’s 14 and Autistic. Sometimes she paints her own.. sometimes other peoples. — But why does painting nails matter? I mean, who in their right mind would give a disabled child nail polish! They could drink it! Or pore it over their bed! Or paint a great big stripe in the middle of Nana’s new carpet. On purpose when they’re in a snit…
