Friday, 27 February 2015. Why the Changes to the WA Premier's Book Awards Will Make Our State Poorer, Rather Than Richer. This piece was written in aid of a feature in the POST newspaper, and thanks must go to David Cohen for turning it into something suitable for that publication. If you would like to help, please consider signing this petition. Which reads, “The West Australian Premiers Awards are moving to a biennial format, with the next awards to be presented in 2016.”.

The Incredible Rambling Elimy | Fiction Reviews & Creative Writing : March 2015
http://www.emilypaull.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Friday, 27 March 2015. The capacity to accept or tolerate delay, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious. You can find bargains if you have the patience to sift through the rubbish". I've never been a particularly patient person. I like to be early to things and I pride myself on being organised. That's why this part of my writing journey is particularly difficult. Because sending my book out involves a whole lot of waiting. But being okay with rejection is easier said than done. This ...

Sunday, 12 July 2015. Book Review: In the Quiet. Cate Carlton has died, but she hasn't moved on.

Reading Round-Up: June
http://www.emilypaull.com/2015/07/reading-round-up-june.html
Wednesday, 1 July 2015. Is it just me, or has June been another really long month? Perth has had its warmest winter since the 1980s but you could have fooled me. I started June by going to Margaret River for the Readers and Writers festival and I think I just about lost a finger or too. Thank goodness for electric blankets! I wrote a few short stories, procrastinated about working on the novel, and managed to crank out the first draft of an essay. 1 The First Bad Man by Miranda July. 8 The Gracekeepers b...

The Incredible Rambling Elimy | Fiction Reviews & Creative Writing : January 2015
http://www.emilypaull.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, 30 January 2015. Here are the books I read in January, and a few thoughts I wanted to share on each. The Lord of the Rings (Trilogy) by JRR Tolkein. Can you believe I have never read the Lord of the Rings before? In particular, I liked the language use. It was reminiscent of old fashioned storytelling, and I cried at the end of the books, which hardly ever happens to me. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. Summer's Gone by Charles Hall. You can read my review here. First Impressions by Charlie Lovett.

http://www.emilypaull.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, 29 November 2014. Site Based Research Trip: Cliffs at Arthur's Head and Bather's Beach. If you missed the first part of my research photos (some of which were taken by my mum) you can see it here. Another view of the ball, which is dropped ceremonially at 1pm, a tribute to the old practise used to signal the time to passing navigators. Ah, the dry prickly trees of the West Australian coastline. My favourite shot. Almost certain I took this one. Anyone else fascinated by lighthouses? Australian ...

The Incredible Rambling Elimy | Fiction Reviews & Creative Writing : April 2015
http://www.emilypaull.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 28 April 2015. Book Review: The Soldier's Wife. Hachette Publishing, 2015 (I own a copy courtesy the publisher). This was an interesting book, in that it turned out to be far more complex than I ever expected. There is a rapidly growing genre in Australian historical fiction that prioritises sweeping love stories that subvert class and age, and I had half-expected this to be one of those. Yet The Soldier's Wife. Labels: australian women writers. Sunday, 19 April 2015. The book is written in eigh...
