Rainbow Wheels (Book)

 So!!!  The Rainbow Wheels journey began a whopping six years ago when I met a lady named Jennifer Althaus. I had done some writing already at that time, but it wasn't for the appropriate age group. So, unfortunately, it could not be used for the book Rainbow Wheels. We had to come up with an original story and then, eventually, get it illustrated. During the first illustration process, I had the misfortune of having the illustrator run off on me. Then, I was tasked with finding another illustrator. Even though my new one was more pricey, she was great! This was a steep learning curve for me, as I had to learn how to handle currency exchange (AUD - USD), but it was certainly worth the time, money and effort. The illustrations did eventually come out exceptionally well!! :D Would I use this illustrator again? Yes, I will if I have a bit more money under my belt. I'm hoping to use her for a sequel to the first Rainbow Wheels. However, nothing is confirmed yet, as I still have to...

Blue Roo's Our Brisbane Story (From a Screenwriting perspective)

 This screenwriting adventure started in late March 2025. I was actually employed to some extent by Blue Roo to assist them with the screenwriting process. And to my surprise, it wasn't what I had originally thought it would be.  So, I was originally thinking I was going to help write the script, but in fact, I was helping edit it. So the screenwriting mentorship consisted of three Zoom meetings, during which I met with Dale and Sarah Jackson over several months. I would typically receive emails from either Dale or Sarah in reference to the screenwriting of things on a Sunday night; I would then do the actual editing of the documents on the following Tuesday and Wednesday nights, if possible, because my left-hand writing support worker, Alice, was kindly helping me review the document before we did the edits. I do remember getting frustrated over the fact that emails were getting into my inbox because it seemed that I would be receiving them after the time I would be able to h...

Blue Roo's Fatal Orbit Fri, 12 Jun, 6:30pm - 7:30pm Sat, 13 Jun, 2:30pm - 3:30pm

 For this production I'm a part of the audience but I still expect great things from the cast and crew can't wait to get my hands on a Program for Blue Roo's Fatal Orbit. I will add more details as the time draws near but for now here's a brief description of what lies ahead.  To my surprise, Fatal Orbit ended up being very comedic, and the ensemble was plunged into space. The pay started out ok and the ensemble carried the script very well. But my standout things for this performance weren't the performers. It was actually the music and the costumes that caught my eye the most. I do not usually say that the music or the costumes catch my eye, but this time I was pleasantly surprised. And as always, the cast was as follows:  Anthony Byrnes. Bridgid Coote. Cameron East. Cherie Watson. Sarah Johnson. James Loakes. Matt Southgate. Oliwia Suchocki.  And my honourable mention goes out to three members of the cast this time. Anthony, Cameron and Oliwia. Anthony and Ol...

Blue Roo's Our Brisbane Story 21st & 22nd of November 2025

Image
 Our Brisbane Story!! Well!! Wasn't it a worry?? :D In a good way, I mean. This production happened in late November 2025, and it pushed me to limits I didn't think were possible. We started preparing in July and August of 2025. And as mentioned before, we did not finish until late November 2025. For this one, we had quite a big cast. I found that there weren't enough roles to go around, even though we were mostly playing ourselves. And this is a fickle thing because I was also part of the scriptwriting team for this production (which I will go into more detail about in another blog).  During rehearsals leading up to the main performance, they tend to go more slowly than in the actual performance. That's because there are lots of things you have to wring out when trying to get everyone to remember their lines, which I will admit I am not the best at when it comes to stage production.  I had to be behind a car for part of the play, which was fine overall, but I had to be...

Aspects of living with a disability part 27 - Life with disabilities still worth living

Yes, life is worth living when you have a disability for multiple reasons  Firstly, we are all unique in different ways. But people with disabilities usually don't get as many opportunities to excel as an able-bodied person would. For example, some of us haven't even experienced proper relationships, which, at the age of 32, you could say is a little bit behind the eight ball. But for me, this will change somewhere in the future. I am not sure exactly where or when but, I have just hooked up with another sexologist by the name of Casey, and, she is teaching me about relationships. And that I am very open to discussing any subject. The subjects we discuss can be very personal.  However, not all experiences that disabled people have are like this. We often have to wait for our opportunities to come to us rather than seeking them out. My advice to you is to try something different. And if you don't like it, you don't have to go back! Unless someone close to you persuades y...
