Keziah Hill

I’ve had a four day weekend which has been great. Not so the poor people living on the Central Coast of NSW where so far 9 people have died in floods.

Australia has always been a land of terrible contrasts. If we’re not in drought (which we have been for years) we’re in flood. I hadn’t experienced rain like that for a very long time. Where I lived doesn’t flood but the rain was relentless. The only thing to do was stay in doors in front of the fire and read or write. I did both.

The wip I’m working on is starting to burrow further into my mind. I like this stage, when a piece of work is always at the periphery of your thoughts and little scenes start bubbling up. Unfortunately, I seem to always get my best thoughts in that half awake stage in bed. I found myself at three in the morning scribbling a couple of nights ago, trying not to lose some insight I had into my heroines actions.

I like that sense of obsession. Here is a picture of a banksia in my garden. It’s one of the only plants in flower at the moment.
