A wonderful collection from Wayne State University Press which reveals how the very form/structure of our prose speaks to the status quo. A push into the interlacing of imagination and politics.

Okay, daran hab ich jetzt echt lange geknabbert, aber ich glaub, ich hab nach drei Wochen endlich einen Weg gefunden, wie dieser Text funktionieren kann. Geholfen hat letztlich Freischreiben (per Hand), eine Stunde schlafen und nach dem Aufwachen gleich weiterschreiben. Okay, gleich mal ausprobieren, ob der Plan an der Tastatur auch gleich noch Sinn ergibt. #Schreiben #CreativeNonfiction #Autorenleben #writerslife #indieaithor

The Funambulists by Jonathan Rovner

"Roland Barthes in his classic study of photography, Camera Lucida, uses two terms, punctum and studium, to descrube our reactions to photographs.

"The studium can be translated as what the photo represents in aesthetic and intellectual terms, wholly disconnected from our emotional response.

"The punctum can be translated as the wound of the photograph. It's both emotional and individual. The punctum for you might be different from my sense of the punctum in a photograph.

"It's a small detail that wounds us, a bou's crooked teeth in a photograph of smiling boys, a man shading his eyes from the sun in another."

I’m back in Melbourne, clear-headed and flowing — fully autonomous now. I call the shots.

Laos was hard — isolating, frustrating, and at times deeply uncomfortable. But now that I’ve left, I miss the people more than anything. There’s a warmth there that stays with you, even when everything else is difficult.

It looks like paradise — cheap beers, big screens, easy company. But every morning you wake up alone, a little more drained, a little more empty. Some places don’t take your money — they take your soul.

Friday night in Siem Reap and the energy feels dark. Tourists are out having fun, but I’m sitting with something heavier — addiction, tension, and the sense that maybe the path forward is through the shadows, not away from them.

Being overseas long enough frees you. You stop trying to fit cultural expectations and start playing with them instead.

I feel more welcome in Melbourne from the people serving food behind the counter than from the pink-faced man at the metro gate.

It’s like acting while I’m still in control. But why do I feel so drunk?

People keep messaging to make sure I’m safe in Cambodia, but that’s only half the story. I’m sitting in a big apartment in the centre of Siem Reap, English everywhere, opportunities opening up, and a life that actually works. There’s a reason expats stay. I’m thriving.

Alone in Cambodia, I sit with street food, taking in the chaos of life passing by. I’ve escaped the rush, my mind is quiet, and I’m planning something meaningful — using my skills to help others, beyond teaching English. The shadows don’t scare me.

A story is unfolding in your life? That’s when writers write. Post at Women Writers

You might have seen I have a book coming out. Next week, gosh. It’s a follow-up to my travel memoir Not Quite Lost – a set of humorous Bill Brysonesque tales that also asks serious questions. Some of those questions are unanswerable, but they swim alongside us as we do ordinary life things. They demand… Continue reading A story is unfolding in your life? That’s when writers write.

Only when the mind itself is transformed do our lives achieve any significant change. Part fiction, part poetry, part philosophical dialogue, this work of creative nonfiction by Gregory SETH Harris examines how the stories humans tell themselves shape human reality.
