Went to see Suzy Eddie Izzard yesterday arvo in #Canberra. Had said before "No, don't be silly, it will be some kind of riff on Hamlet. Nobody would be able to pull #Hamlet off as a one-hander, and there's that fight scene.... "
Was I bloody wrong.
Fantastic show. Christ what a lot of work. Go and see #Izzard whenever you can. Talent, work, power. Fabulous.
(Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are bewilderingly good, no I won't tell you how.)

No spoilers please, but #Hamlet does win in the end, doesn't he?
I mean Shakespeare wouldn't be such an amateur that the hero loses?

Claudius is sus
Zhen (13) and I have been reading a kid-friendly retelling of Hamlet. I found this great find at our local public library!
I thought reading Hamlet For Kids (by Lois Burdett) together would be a fun way to introduce Zhen to Shakespeare without overwhelming her with heavy Elizabethan English.
I found this kid-friendly retelling of Hamlet at the public library! 📚🤓Today, we read the part of the drama when Hamlet sees his father’s ghost and the ghost tells him Claudius killed Hamlet’s father.
“What does prophetic soul mean?” Zhen asked after reading the passage.
I broke it down for her by asking her to think of what a prophet means and what they do.
I explained, “So, this is basically Hamlet’s poetic way of saying, ‘I knew it! I knew it was my Uncle Claudius!’ Hamlet was suspicious of his uncle, and now the ghost has confirmed those suspicions.”
“Ohhhh, so Claudius is sus!” Zhen exclaimed. 🤣
We both started laughing, and I said, “Well…yeah! I guess King Claudius is sus!”
Such a Gen Alpha way to explain Shakespeare! Haha 😄😎 But it made me happy Zhen made the connection!
💜 XO
These days, you’ll find us at the greenhouse. ☺️🌿

„Keine Ausbildung für sowas.“
So klingt Diskriminierung, wenn sie höflich sein will. Nicht laut. Nicht brutal. Nicht offen feindselig. Sondern freundlich verpackt. Als pragmatische Absage. Als angebliche Realität. Als Satz, nach dem alle so tun können, als wäre nichts passiert.
Aber manchmal bleibt so ein Satz hängen.
Manchmal wird aus einer Absage Wut.
Aus der Wut wird eine Figur.
Aus der Figur wird Viktor.
Und aus Viktor wird Hamlet on Wheels.Eine Kurzgeschichte über Theater, Behinderung, Mitleid, Bühne – und die Frage, wer eigentlich entscheiden darf, wer Hamlet sein kann.

🎭 Dada Masilo's HAMLET at Sadler's Wells is a farewell and a statement. Fast, grounded, fiercely alive. The finale alone is worth the journey: a relay of rotations building into a wall of sound.

What’s Left To Do?
Are you finally wrapping up that book and tying up all the loose ends? I know for me, right now, it’s checking pages to make sure they match the subject. Double-checking paragraphs, spelling, punctuation and page count. While subjugating all of these projects simultaneously here is a last-minute list for finishing the book…Good luck with that!
Before you hit publish or send your manuscript off to print, take one more slow read-through. Not a rushed skim, but an honest final pass. This is usually where small mistakes start flailing their arms for attention. A missing quotation mark, a repeated sentence, a character name spelled two different ways. Don’t forget— it’s the tiny details that matter more than we think.
Make sure chapter titles are consistent, fonts match throughout the manuscript, and spacing looks clean and professional. Readers may not notice good formatting, but they absolutely notice bad formatting. If your book includes page numbers, a table of contents, references, or images, now is the time to verify every single one.
Don’t forget the cover and back-cover description either. Sometimes we spend months or years writing the story and only a few hours creating the sales pitch. That short summary on the back of the book, or blurb, as it is often called–is the first impression readers get, so make it count. Keep it clear, engaging, and spoiler-free.
Another important part of this process is reading portions aloud. It may sound a little crazy, but hearing the words helps catch awkward phrasing and overly long sentences. Your ears often notice what your eyes skip over. That always seems to amaze me—Don’t ask!
If possible, ask someone else, who enjoys reading, to give the manuscript one final look over. A fresh pair of eyes can uncover mistakes you’ve become blind to after staring at the same pages for so long. Even one trusted reader can make a huge difference.
And finally, exhale. Finishing a book is an accomplishment many people dream about but never complete. Whether this is your first project or your tenth, reaching the final stage deserves recognition. The editing, revising, second-guessing, coffee-fueled nights, and endless corrections are all part of the process.
At some point, you’ll just have to let the book go. It will never feel one hundred percent perfect, and that’s okay. Done is sometimes better than endless delays. Celebrate the finish line, learn from the experience, and then start thinking about the next story waiting to be written.
Now that it’s time to party…Hit those keys more hardy! Thank you for your continued readership and support. Have a blessed new week!
