Honestly at the rate you write, I'd be surprised if you didn't ;)

A writing workshop? :O sounds very impressive. I can't wait to read about it! Also, what gig?

The blurb they gave me.. (this is not my writing)

Local author, holoz0r is presenting an ekphrastic session with a twist! Did you know that pre-Raphelite painting had a strong link with writing about artworks. Holoz0r will present content on what inspires you, an ugency to create, and inspiration rather than writer's bloc as to stirring with one's muse...
Holoz0r will also be the guest author for the afternoon Poets @ the Pub. Turn up for the morning, chill in the afternoon in listening to others or be a part of the open mike. See if you can win a bottle of wine as well...
Gawler - the Colonial Athens...

The blurb I submitted was longerer. Much longer:

In his photography, holoz0r draws inspiration from the visual style and mythological symbolism of Pre-Raphaelite paintings. His artistic practice explores the fragility and transience of human life. Informed by his Master’s Degree in Visual Art and Design, his thesis examined artistic representations of death, decay, and impermanence.

These themes flow into his writing. He weaves his love of speculative fiction and philosophy together, striving for his work to capture the wonder of Arthur C Clarke, the vivid, existential doubts sowed by Philip K Dick, and the deeply insightful and introspective work of Ted Chiang.

In this creative writing workshop, we will examine Pre-Raphaelite paintings where painting and poetry were deeply linked. Then, we'll craft written responses focusing on the subtle, intentional details that are all present for a reason.

We will then advance to discussing the photograph as memento mori, covered by French philosopher Roland Barthes, before pausing to make a poem that is a portrait.

Finally, we will conclude on intentionality in creativity, where even in a flow state, every word can be curated to extract more meaning.

Oh, the concert: Reliqa

While I agree about cutting it short a bit, they certainly didn't do you justice. I'd come to your description, though. I hope you have a blast, regardless. And that you write about it afterwards ofc.

As for Reliqa, I'm gonna go do some editing now, so I'll see if they flow for the background. Will check them out anyway. Much gratitude :)

LE: Okay, maybe when I go for a walk. It sounds great from what I've heard, but too intense for my writing. Thanks!
