Introductions are in order


How I spend any rare snatches of free time / photo: me

Introductions are never easy, so I'm just going to jump right in.

I'm CJ, and I live in beautiful, ever-sunny Perth, Western Australia. I know, I would be jealous of me too.

Yet, despite the glorious beaches, Perth has not yet offered me the bedazzling writing career of my dreams.

But this city is not entirely to blame.

With only a little experience behind me, it's no wonder Vogue is not banging down the door and offering $4.50 a word like they did for Carrie Bradshaw.

So, this blog is here for a few reasons:

1. To ge me writing something - anything! - that is not a University graded, critical analysis of Australian literature.

2. To share articles, photography and other miscellaneous items that I find inspiring.

3. To entertain you, dear reader! And allow you to procrastinate on Blogger until you forget what you were originally doing.

So, please, if you like something - comment!
If you hate something, still comment; but please be nice and use good grammar.

Oh - and all photos that appear on this blog are my own, unless otherwise credited.

And if you do work in Mag Land and would like to bang down my door about a story, freelancing or (gasp!) a job, please email me. For the love of God.

I'm just a baby in this industry, who hopes to one day be a giant.
