This is a place where I share my ideas and my writing and put into practice my hopes for greater connection, critical thinking and clear expression amongst people who care about our world, our communities, and each other. Social and political issues, writing, language, fathers and fathering - these are some of the things you'll find here.
Walking out after the Writers Festival panel on the essay with Chloe Hooper, Nicolas Rothwell and Gideon Haigh, I was cheered by the lovely lights of the ferris wheel.

I am a writer and a reader, and believe in the power of words and images to make a difference. I make a basic living helping other people's words look good, and need to express my ideas in my own words and images to keep sane. I am also a father: my two young sons are currently the joy and challenge of my life, and I'm loving it.
I usually mention various initiatives in the blog, but here are some regulars for easy reference:

Plenty of economy and precision there, Mark; this post speaks volumes.
Thanks, Dr Cat. I appreciate that. I was thinking long and hard about my responses to the second half of the session, and was wondering if I was just being ungenerous towards some of the panelists. But I couldn't shake the nagging feeling.
I did decide to go with sparsity, though, and I'm glad I did.
