If I won lotto tomorrow, I'd give up my day job immediately and after I'd travelled the world a few times and built my dream house on acreage, I'd write a novel. No idea what it'd be about, but I've always been a words person, story-teller and an avid reader so it sounds like the best way to spend my days.

​

That's kind of how Glazing the Doughnut came to be. I'd always liked to write, even essays about boring shit, I thoroughly enjoyed. After my relationship of eight years ended and I found myself single again, all sorts of weird dating shit kept happening to me. So weird in fact, that I felt it needed to be recorded.

 

I started recording headlines in my phone. Every weird date I went on, and there were lots, I captured with a headline so I'd remember it. Then, during Melbourne's seemingly endless COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020/21, I needed a creative outlet, so I decided to turn the headlines into blog posts. Not for anyone to read, just for me to enjoy the process of writing them.

​

I let it slip to a very good friend of mine that I was spending some time writing and agreed to let her read a couple of them. She said I needed to share these cautionary tales with the masses, so here we are. If you're not a fan, you have her to blame.

​

Even if it's a a distraction whilst you're waiting for the bus, I hope you get something out of my ramblings.
