It is when they get too long and different coloured bits that it all starts to go wrong. I'm a fellow Perth writer too, still dealing with the rejection of my first novel but the only way is up. Nice blog. Good luck with your novel. I’m still deciding on the whole beard thing. It is when they get too long and different coloured bits that it all starts to go wrong.

Why are beards so frowned upon when they're so natural? Why go to such lengths to remove what is meant to be there? It's purely because of fashion, right? So it's pretty awesome that fashion has given men their facial hair back again. Men can again know the wonderfully liberating feeling of letting nature just do it's hairy thing, and have a socially acceptable alternative to scraping our faces with shards of sharpened steel every morning. Yes! Except that nobody really likes to kiss you anymore. So I'm back to daily follicle scraping. I was been thinking about it too when I grew my beard over December and January.
