Chauvet Cave

Don’t miss Cave of Forgotten Dreams, a movie directed by Werner Herzog. He had special access to Chauvet Cave in France. Be amazed by cave paintings looking fresh after thirty thousand years.

tenets

Do you know the “two major tenants of web design”?

Or, should that  be tenets?

Special

From time to time, I will post samples from my collection of signs.

The images have been photographed in shops, windows, and at events mostly near Melbourne.

Short Film Script

My new film script is on its way. After refining the step outline, I will add dialogue to create my script for a 5-minute film. It is a contemporary tale about some of the perils facing young job seekers.

Short Play Script

I have uploaded my short play script “The Wrong Number” to www.australianshortfilms.com and it should be available soon.

refined words

How can I help you to say what you mean?

For example, I will correct spelling and punctation, and remove misplaced modifiers causing confusion.

My eagle eye and word talents will improve your writing so that your message is clear.

Newspaper typos

Yet again, my newspaper reading is spoilt by a misspelt word. Today’s clanger is ‘ambassdor’, obviously missing an ‘a’, at the bottom of page 8 of Sunday Life magazine, Sunday Age, Melbourne.

A lifetime of reading, studies in professional writing and editing, and employment in a printing shop make me aware, and annoyed by, errors.

PWE progress

There’s only one term of study until I achieve my Certificate IV in Professional Writing and Editing at Holmesglen TAFE.

This Semester I am enrolled in three subjects: Instructional Writing, Editing 2, and Popular Fiction.

I.W. and Edit 2 are second-level subjects, and I will only need two more subjects to complete my PWE Diploma.
