Oh no, not another blog about books and writing!

Well, yes and no. This one is different because it’s mostly about me.

Who the hell is me?

Timm from the Gap – that’s who.

A bipolar being hooked on books, music and cream buns, I’ve been trying to read and write my way out of my particular pickle for decades – with mixed results.

On one hand I’ve published stories in magazines, produced museum displays and kept a blog.

On the other I’ve failed to finish any number of novels – and I’ve kept a blog.

Ah yes, the blog. Irregular posts on books, writing and life. Earnest, irreverent, absurd. Regular doses of existential detritus (d12d). Pictures of cream buns.

And then there’s the bus – the Bridges Omnibus, that is.

This commodious old crate is crammed full of research and resources relating to two of Tasmania’s most memorable yet least remembered writers: Roy and Hilda Bridges.

I spent two years studying the Bridges for my Honours degree and I’m now a devotee.

Sound like your thing? Then pat yourself on the back and come right in…

To help you find your way around I’ve created a guest list and a skeleton key.

My everyday self lives in Brisbane with my mob and my job (with Australia’s biggest ‘publisher’ of travel books).

Feel free to leave me comments or to email me at timmintype@gmail.com with your take on any topic. I’m really quite nice.

Still want more? Check out my slush pile and brag book. Or, if you’re a lover of little-rature, my other blog, flash wounds. It’s big on the small.
