-Ghostwriting and coaching (nearly $300,000)
Now I help other writers monetise their skills with this insight: Your words have value. More value than you might realise.
Nothing is more rewarding than building a career around the thing you naturally do best. (4/4) #writing
I added up my lifetime earnings and was shocked: over $2 million from writing.
The irony? I started out thinking I needed to design clothes or crunch numbers to be successful. (1/x)
My journey took me from Japan, India and back to Australia, through universities and startups, with writing always at the core:
- Speeches and newsletters in Japan ($60,000)
- Marketing materials at universities ($370,000)
- Policy papers as Chief of Staff ($140,000+) (3/x)
@nytopinion@gailcollins I always enjoy Gail and Bret’s conversations but wish to point out in the reference to Tina Brown’s son that the usual terminology for an individual Is ‘neurodivergent.’ ‘Neurodiverse’ refers to the population of neurodivergent people. Just my two cents.
I adore #NewYorkCity and I’m fascinated by this mapping project by @nytimes - mapping NYC neighbourhoods according to New Yorkers themselves: https://t.co/MZHL4BOz78 #cartography
This is a terrible tragedy. Condolences to the man’s family. The strike action resulting from this incident is compounding the delays of ferries which have been caused by strong winds. 1000s of tourists stuck - including two dozen guests for my partner’s 60th birthday on #milos
@htTweets@htdelhi My mind is blown- all this water: such a far cry from the #Delhi I lived in, in 2012-4. It was so dry we had to (and were fortunate to be able to) get drinking water trucked in. #delhiflood
First Saturday column of a big year. @AlboMP and the voice - the ghosts of campaigns past, and a doctrine of strategic patience #auspol https://t.co/9dXZKPedDM

RIP QEII. Thinking of my favourite song that mentions The Queen:
“..and the Queen leans out of the window and says, ‘Aren’t you BB King? Oh BB, sometimes it seems so hard to pull things together. Can you tell me what you think I oughtta do?’”

@Asher_Wolf My son actually made a Father’s Day gift and card for me this year. Not even his pop or my partner (not my son’s father) got a look-in. 🤷🏻♀️
