Zines Advent Calendar
As the de facto Minister for Red Umbrellas, for December 2003, the hostess of the Soul Food Cafe launched a whimsical Advent Calendar, with a uniquely Australian focus, in order to promote gaiety and colour during December. Christmas in Australia coincides with the winding down of the working year, the end of school and the long summer holidays. Summer in Australia involves extreme temperatures, action sports, sunscreen, picnics, barbies, slabs of cold beer, outdoor dining, camping under the stars, sunburn, blow flies and red back spiders behind the dunny door. This calendar is designed with writers in mind but anyone looking to relax and unwind will find inspiration within pages that braid the universal threads of joy, gratitude, peace and goodwill to mankind. People from all over the world who have been associated with the site have lent a helping hand with this calendar and as a result there are 25 primary pages, spanning 25 days, with inclusive projects, nostalgia and nonsense from both hemispheres. Thank you to each and every one who has contributed to make this calendar such a success. Student Lounge Peeling The Onion |
The Soul Food Cafe
The Soul Food Cafe is a quirky cyber retreat for writers. It is a compound of connecting corridors and is multi- leveled. There are sections that are undergoing extension and old parts that are being redecorated. There are windows looking out upon the secret garden and the old Hayloft studio where artists and writers alike have claimed space. This cafe is a hive of activity. It is full of the sound of voices, new voices, old voices, all chatting and laughing, sharing hints over coffee or a nourishing meal. The Soul Food Cafe fosters creativity and encourages the writer to rest, relax and bask in anticipatory pleasure. It is the perfect place to spread your writing wings and work with a muse. Magic Writing Tram

Games Writing For Well-Being The House of the Muse Writing Notebook The aptly named Soul Food Cafe is my colourful haven
in a relentless life of monotone daily grind. Heather Blakey and her Musers
have given me the courage to write, to dream and to re-evaluate myself
in kinder and more creative terms. Heather's website is my number one
choice for writer resources, and it's forums provide a gentle place in
which to test writer's fledgling wings. "The Soul Food Café one of the most beautiful web sites I’ve seen. Being there, in the site, is something like being under water, looking up at the sun’s rays reflecting off the blue liquid." Tony Anthony The purpose of this site is to promote writing and creative
pursuits as a daily practice. We at the Author's Quill can not say enough
about this wonderful site and highly recommend that you pay it a visit
and experience the magical world contained within for yourself. Welcome to this 'field of dreams.' You'll will find that whenever you visit there'll be artists; picture takers, poets, painters, and story tellers, ready to stimulate the muse. Vi Jones HOW did I NOT find this site BEFORE? Not only is it about
journaling, Muses, and creativity, but it's practical, well-written, and
has stuff on VISUAL JOURNALS!! There is, literally, enough stuff here
to keep you busy until your favorite pen has gone the way of the Dodo.
A MUST SEE site of 2003, in our not-so-humble-royal opinion. |
