Steph's Travel Adventures

 Quest South Brisbane is where I stayed for the direction of the production at QMC, which allowed me to stay up in Brisbane for the two performances of Midnight at the Cementery.  My holiday originally started on Wednesday, when we picked up one of my carers whose name is Sofia from Oxenford, then continuing through to Brisbane, where I aslo met up with a friend by the name of Adrian. We had lunch together at the Riverside cafe in Southbank. After this we got to check in at Quest, where we stayed for five days. My carers did change for once during these days, having Julia for the three first days and Wiesia the last two days, but Sofia for the whole five days. Throughout this time we had numerous rehesals for the Thursday to the Saturday, and then the final performance of the Midnight at the Cementery was on the 16th of November.  I had fun during my time at Quest although I was exhausted on the Friday night, so all I did after the performance was  basically go to be...

Midnight at the cementery was a 18 week voluntary acting program that I was part of for the end of this year. I started with Blue Roo back in August of this year, and to be honest, I wasn't sure if I would continue, but, they surprised me at the end of term party and they offered a mentorship for the second half of next year, which I'm very excirted for!  I will continue with the acting program for next year, but in light of being offered the mentorship I am uncertain at this stage how it will affect things. So, for I've been told so far, the mentorship will go from 12 week but it's only two hours long each week. As for the rest I'll have to keep you updated. The producton of Midnight at the Cementery went off without a hitch. By the end of the program we were visiting the Queensland Multicultural Centre. It was really great to see the show come to live on the big stage. I will admit the weeks leading up to this to me felt a bit slow beacuse I felt like I should hav...

 Angela and I had a verbal fight, but now our future is back to being bright. You may ask what we fought over; the answer is our friendship. I've recently worked on the sequel to the Angela and Murray story, 'What Happened to Katheryn. This story currently has 510 words, without little birds. Recently as of the 24th of January 2023, I had the privilege of being accompanied by Angela and Anika to my psychology. You might wonder what is wrong with me? I have some things going on now, although I prefer not to always show it. When I got the privilege of having Angela accompany me to Psychology, my heart was filled with glee! There are a few reasons this could be; one is that she was previously able to keep my mental health afloat, just like I was in a boat. Why does this fill me with glee? Well, you see, she promised me that she would be there when I was a scare. Angela's voice is like most, although it can sound slightly moist; 6 years ago today, I was finishing a holiday with...

 One morning when I was in Kirra, sitting beside the old Pizza Hut (which has now turned into Sibblings restaurant) with Alice, a van was also beside a car that said Surf Therapy.

I had hoped to participate in a course this year, but it seems it will be delayed until next year or possibly the year after.  The reason for the postponement is exciting—I am officially going to Japan at the end of the year! This adventure takes precedence over any courses I had planned. Visiting Japan has been a dream of mine since I was 14, and now at 29, it's finally becoming a reality. For updates on my discoveries in Japan, stay tuned to my blog, although there's nothing posted just yet. Returning to the topic of screenwriting, I've discovered an excellent book by Screen Craft titled 'Intro to Screenwriting.' I'm aiming to take a course with the Australian Film and Radio Association. Keep an eye on this blog; you might find yourself pleasantly surprised by what I've managed to create! I did this course at the beggining of 2024 from the 4th of March to the 20 of March 2024. The course was taught by someone who goes by the name of Chris Squadrito who lay...
