My boss
always tells us at work that events and projects should be like a duck on
water, an easy glide to the eye, but with the quick and hard pace of legs
below. Last year, I spent a lot of time paddling, and a lot of time treading
water.
This year
(even though we’re only a few days into it!), it already feels like I’m
starting to move. I made huge progress at my Katharine Susannah Prichard
Writers Centre residency at the start of December, and have managed to keep a
firm momentum with my writing since. I’ve fallen back in love with short
fiction, and have some really exciting new projects on the horizon.
The biggest
news – and something that will certainly be looming over me this year – is that
I am a recipient of a Queensland Literary Fellowship in 2015. I’m totally
thrilled, of course, and it’s super exciting to have both this sort of
recognition, but also to have a panel of people put their hat in the ring for
me to develop work.
So all in
all, I feel good about 2015. I feel good about what’s ahead, and what’s in
store. My legs will still be working hard of course, but hopefully I’ll get to
glide a little further.
