Editor's Note | 6th May 2025

Hiya Hinchinbrook Shire! Gosh another long weekend and I hope everyone had a great one. I for one, am anticipating the library's reopening as having a good book to read over a long weekend is just the best kind of activity to pass the time.

Speaking of literature, you may have noticed that we have started a new feature - the Creative Corner!

This is where we aim to highlight local artistic and cultural talent and give them the recognition they deserve through the publication. So, if you have a poem, short story, comic or another form of creative writing we would love to hear from any and all aspiring artists. Send them to my email at victoria@lifepublishinggroup.com and I will let you know if your work has been selected to be featured in the newspaper.

Creative writing is a passion of mine, and I love experiencing it in all the forms it can take such as theatre, movies, songs, and of course in books. I have even turned my own hand at writing a few stories myself. I love the traditional way of writing by scribbling down my ideas as they pop into my head, or making a note to develop upon later. Sometimes I will even add a little drawing to really get the idea down right.

What's your creative process?

Victoria

Fun Fact: The American author Mark Twain not only owned many cats, but also rented them when he couldn't travel with his own. He even refused to associate with people who didn't like cats.
