Cyclone Conditions Now Perfect for Far North Queensland/ Approach: Coral Sea to Cairns

Potential Cyclones:  

The monsoon trough extends from Papua New Guinea to the Solomon Islands, with
an area of low pressure located southwest of the Solomon Islands. The monsoon
is expected to strengthen early next week. It is likely that with the
intensification of the monsoon trough, the low will develop further, however
the uncertainty with its future movement is high.

Likelihood of a tropical cyclone in the Eastern Region on:
Monday          Low        
Tuesday         Moderate   
Wednesday       High       



NOTES: The likelihood is an estimate of the chance of each system being a
tropical cyclone in the Region for each day.
Very Low:     less than 5%                 Moderate:     20 to 50%
Low:          5% to 20%                    High:         over  50%

The area of coverage for this outlook is the Coral Sea and northern Tasman Sea
west of 160E.

Harvest Moon Rising for the Writer

LATE HARVEST MOON for writing

i'm hoping that the stable-enough work and the stable-enough life will give me some opportunity to print out one manuscript at a time onto real paper, and then just spend an hour here and there 'removing stuff' from it/them...not adding or expanding stories etc at all. There has been enough wild warm frenetic creativity with That totally unregulated 'hit & miss' part of the Mind...and now what is needed is some appropriate cool destruction. Much like approaching each page as a grim reaper...or a Tony Abbott.

these manuscripts are my 'intellectual property' in the world...mostly like small farms of idea and emotion and plot crops. They have quite gone wild and to seed in most cases and they do need a Late Harvest. What remains after this 'threshing' is, as they say, grist for the mill.
