Last night, at the Canberra Critics’ Circle Awards night, I received a fiction award for my collection Through Splintered Walls.
Absolutely thrilled by this! I am now a two-time winner, because Slights won two years ago. It’s an award to be very proud of, because it is voted by the critics themselves.
Before the awards were announced, I chatted with an artist called Trish Roan. We were both there not knowing too many people, and we had an amazing conversation about inspiration, the dark side of life, and how to make a sculpture out of my son’s old tonka trucks.
I was thrilled when she won an award as well, for visual arts.
A most refreshing evening!
Yay! Congratulations!
