When King George III dispatched the First Fleet to Sydney in 1787, to accommodate prisoners no longer welcome in the newly independent United States, the history of British settlement (and Indigenous displacement) commenced. Reduced to a percentage on the scale of human occupation of this land, the past two hundred and thirty years would disappear -a number so small it would not even register as a rounding error.

He identified five points. Just as five is a useful number for a child using her fingers to learn to count, it is handy for the busy writer-slash-performer. His points demonstrated he'd reflected on his craft, but his thoughts could be distilled into one: if you want to be a writer, get on with it -or, in the jargon of another brand, just do it.
