Japan Break

February 1, 2024 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ Leave a comment

When I finished my first draft, two weeks ago, I thought I'd jump straight in and start an editing re-write. Well, I did do that and it was not a good idea. I started getting sucked into a familiar black hole of sadness and I was overwhelmed. I'm condensing some pieces for competition, so I … Continue reading Japan Break

My Year of Writing: in Retrospect

January 3, 2024 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ 4 Comments

Last year was a very good year for me. I finally found what I want to be when I grow up. It's been an arduous search. I'm 51 years old. Spending my year writing has been life-changing, and it's definitely what I want to continue doing. At the beginning of last year, I really had … Continue reading My Year of Writing: in Retrospect

The Story So Far…

February 17, 2023 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ 4 Comments

When I decided to take a year off work to write a book, it felt like a leap of faith. It still does. It's a risk, but one that, so far, I am so happy I took. I am relishing sitting in the space of my memories. Surprised by what is coming up and wants … Continue reading The Story So Far…

I respectfully acknowledge the Wurundjeri people as the traditional owners of the land on which I write and live, and the rich history of storytelling being an important part of the culture. I pay my respects to the elders, past and present, and acknowledge sovereignty of this land was never ceded.

I travelled to the other side of Melbourne today, or ‘the wrong side of the river,’ as my grandfather used to taunt my Williamstown born grandmother. I went to do a workshop with the very knowledgeable Kate, @kmildenhall at Sunshine Library. The session was part of the Brimbank Readers and Writers Festival. As always, listening to Kate speak made me a little bit more clever, and a lot more clear on where I’m going and what I need to do. I wasn't sure what to expect with this one, but had enjoyed Mark's other book, and once I started, I strapped in and enjoyed the ride. Sandra Kuecher is still looking after me ♥ 11 years later. This was my beautiful care package she sent me off to Japan with. Me, my two girls, aged 14 and 9, and a month of adventures awaiting us. Is Suicide a Dirty Word? Symphony Tower Tokyo by Rie Qudan, expertly translated by Jesse Kirkwood, is every language lovers perfect read. A story which looks at language on many levels, including the structure and architecture, the appearance of, and way you read the components or characters, and the way meaning is conveyed through the words themselves. My beautiful friend Maki, from @guesthouse.soi.kyoto , sent me this spectacular 'The Tale of Genji' inspired incense. 'The Tale of Genji' is a novel, over a thousand years old, and is the inspiration for my work in progress. Some local morning inspiration 😍 #wrìterslife #dandenongranges #wallabies #morningwalk #australianwildlife Thanks @katesollywriter  for having us at your writing workshop last night, at Carnegie Library. It's always great to listen to you talk. Plus, I love your colour coding. As a fellow ND, it appeals, a lot! Thanks to @aaron.clarkpear for taking this photo and making me look natural, and normal. I hate having my photo taken, but you made it easy 😍 big love, little bro ❤️ #wrìterslife #authorshot #usuallyawkward
