So. Q2 2022 Review eh? Pffffffffff! For those who don’t know, that’s how you write the sound of someone blowing a raspberry (a very long one). Which coincidentally, is pretty much how I feel about the quarter. I can’t say there was much in the way of Great Forgetting, as I managed to stay more […]
Q1 2022 Review
My Q1 2022 review tells me I haven’t stuck to my plan. Though, to be honest, we all knew that already. In the Dean Wesley Smith universe, the first quarter is The Time of Great Excitement. The when you’re so full of optimism you make expansive plans for what you hope to accomplish during the […]
2021 Q4 Review
Q4 2021 for me was definitely a Big Fat Restart, coming as it did with the return of my inner dialogue. For clarity, Dean Wesley Smith calls Q4 the The Time of Restart as you finally get your shit together following The Time of Great Regret. Though I suppose for writers of the Southern Hemisphere, […]
2021 Q3 Review
The third quarter, as Dean Wesley Smith calls it, is the Time of Great Regret. And for me, Q3 2021 was definitely that. As he explains it, you get to the end of Q2 and start freaking out because you haven’t got anything done. But for me, it was the time I thought my writing […]

2021 Q1 Review
Before we get to the Q1 2021 review, let’s take a quick look back at the planning. Planning 2021 So. According to my random, and tongue in cheek horoscope selections, 2021 is going to feature the clash of innovation and tradition. Here in Australia, politically, that’s certainly been the case, but no early Probyn style […]
2020 Q2 Review
Here we are at the 2020 Q2 review already. It seems the paradox of this year is that it seems like no time, as well as centuries, have passed since the Q1 review. I didn’t really think the year’s early turbulence would have passed, and it hasn’t. In some places, it might be considered a […]
2020 Q1 Review
Before I start with the 2020 Q1 review, let’s take a quick look back. As it turns out, those astrological predictions of a turbulent start to 2020 weren’t that far off. It’s gone so far that the ABC’s political editor Andrew Probyn has named it the year god forgot. Already. And just like it seems […]
