Amelia Carson: I draw, I write

Hello you lot: it’s been a while.
Sorry about  that.  As many of you know I am busy incubating child numero tois.
It’s been a bumpy ride...
The first six months of the gestation was battered blue by perinatal depression as I blogged, briefly, about here. I took my mother’s advice and I wrote. Just in case you know anyone who suffers from this awful and not too common condition I recommend Panda as a great resource.


 During this time I was also published, (yippee) in the Australian Poetry Journal (here), but I think I was too tired to tell you about it. It’s about my perspective on country creating and includes a rather succint and mildly exagerated autobiography. But after the thrill of being published. I had to miserably pull out of exhibitions and not make the not-so-inaugural calendar. After that there was the general tiredness of incubating and parenting. Three pregnancies and I may have learnt to go sleep; three pregnancies and I, (may) have learnt the importance of doing  nothing. Luenig’s beautiful answer to the question: “What is worth doing and what is worth having? ….Why it is worth doing nothing and having a rest”,  became my mantra.  After trying to tame my black dog with a multitude of large, bitter to swallow  multivitamin tablets and concoctions I found relief, (and sometimes I felt  myself) in half a tinsy white pill. Anyway it became obvious the art, writing was to take a giant second, third, fourth and fifth to my health and that of  this growing family.  So I doubt I’ll be posting regularly or often, (arggghh worse rule of blogs). However I will endeavour to still share all the things I love with you like:
