it's not that I haven't been writing; it's that I haven't had much to say about it.

the ratio of unpublished to published continues to skew unpublished-heavy. not sure what to do: to ditch the old stuff, or to spend all my time submitting it and not get any new stuff written.

Melbourne Uni's incompetence means I don't know who'll be teaching this year, so I'm not even sure what I'll be studying, or in what semester.

keep having great ideas for novels that, once I start to write them, get condensed into short stories. the latest might become an episode in a novel; at the last moment I gave the main character a break and had someone else commit the crime that haunts him for life...leaving loose ends to do with the someone else.

since the latest piece was published, I have exactly nothing forthcoming. there is a shortage of competitions, annuals etc this time of year, but surely I can find someone to submit something to? might be time to go international again, just for a change.
