A small, local thing I’d love you to join

I want to point you to something wonderful.

My friend Carolyn Tate is running Rewilding the Writer Within at Flinders Fringe, and if your creativity has gone missing under admin, laundry and 47 open tabs, this might be your rescue mission.

This workshop is for:
• writers
• not-quite-writers
• used-to-be-writers
• people who say, ‘I’d love to write,’ then alphabetise the spice drawer

What I love about Carolyn’s work is that it’s smart, practical, and gloriously unpretentious. No tortured-artist cosplay. Just thoughtful prompts, fresh perspective, and real momentum.

And in a world where everything feels loud, fast, and unhinged, I keep finding hope in small local things: artists making brave work, people gathering in rooms, and the beautiful, stubborn act of making something from scratch.

This workshop feels exactly like that.

Flinders Fringe Festival,

Book your spot here.

If you’re on the Mornington Peninsula that weekend, I’d love to see you there.

And if you’re not, maybe this is your nudge to back something creative where you are, a local workshop, a tiny festival, an independent show, that deserves a bigger audience.

Support local art. It’s cheaper than therapy and comes with better lighting.
