How to Create Collage Poetry. Last weekend, the writers of the Nambucca Valley Writers Group were fortunate to attend a writing workshop with Linda Jaivin. We put in a request to Northern Rivers Writers Centre a year ago, and the workshop was well worth the wait. I came home from the workshop full of ideas and ready to try new practices. I learned that it’s okay to write stuff that informs your story but may not end up in the story. (huge freedom! Beyond Happily Ever Afte. R: pondering, brainstorming, mi...

How to Create Collage Poetry. I'm a 44 year old writer, living on the Mid North Coast of NSW Australia. I write women's fiction with attitude and I also dabble in collage poetry.

Writer’s Motivational Products. A Funny Thing Happened on the way to Byron (or how I ended up on stage with Nick Earls). August 21, 2014. On Sunday 27th July, I found myself sitting on a raised platform at the Coast Hotel next to Nick Earls, microphone in hand, telling a round of a story of the top of my head. Later, I had to pinch myself, I’d been on stage with a panel of Byron Bay Writers Festival authors. How did I get here? Well, I can blame and thank Angela Meyer for this. The other writers were Ash...

https://dianecurran.wordpress.com/2015/07/05/sugar-free-me-or-how-i-lost-19kgs-in-5-months
Writer’s Motivational Products. Sugar-free me (or how I lost 19kgs in 5 months). July 5, 2015. I am an all or nothing girl. Moderation is a concept that I can’t quite grasp. While other people may be able to regulate their sugar consumption to a daily Freddo or row of chocolate, I’d eat the whole bag of Freddos or the whole family block. Perhaps I could manage to drink only two iced teas (or Cokes) in a day, but that was on a good day. I joined Curves. I tried Lite n’ Easy, but I wasn’t f...Football fiel...

Put some shimmy into your writing | Write on Track
https://dianecurran.wordpress.com/2015/07/23/put-some-shimmy-into-your-writing
Writer’s Motivational Products. Put some shimmy into your writing. July 23, 2015. When I started bellydancing lessons in January 2011, I had no intention of dancing in public. I was ticking an item off my bucket list, I thought it would be fun and a good way to exercise, and I wanted to expand my circle of friends. Photo by Mark Holzigal. I certainly didn’t feel ready. Since then I have danced in every end of year concert. I never feel ready, but I get on stage anyway. Writing is a lot like bellydancing.

The Healer | Write on Track
https://dianecurran.wordpress.com/2015/03/01/the-healer
Writer’s Motivational Products. March 1, 2015. I reach out to their vulnerability. I offer them a friendly smile, a solid shoulder, an antidote to rejection, a feel-good, non-commital time. It could last a night, a week, a month, a year. Each time it runs its own course and they they move on. I’m the one in the middle, if they only take the chance. I’m in the middle of their past and their future. I’m their present, if they only live in the moment. I’m the one in the middle, left standing alone. Notify m...
