Did you notice I took a bit of a break from the old social media? Or as I called it in April "Anti-social media". My newsfeed, usually devoid of negativity, suffered three times with what I can only describe as "haters". It wasn't directed at me, but several close friends tried to intervene and it was not pretty. Cue the "unlike" and "unfollow" buttons. Anyway, I'm back now, all refreshed from our annual writing retreat in Caloundra. Take writers from different genres - romantic suspense, male-male contemporary and futuristic, sci-fi/fuuristic romance and contemporary (me), dark contemporary and world war one real life, throw them in a three bedroom apartment and see what happens. My favourite bits: The view from our apartment. Of course, what this photo doesn't show is the frigid winds blowing up from Antarctica that meant we didn't sit on the balcony at all this year. (and its true, I may have bought a lap blanket...) Sunrises and sunsets - I love to be out walking when the sun comes up, and again at sunset. Sometimes suburban life doesn't let me. Writing... Need I say more. I got close to 6000 words, a lot of plotting, planning and thinking done. And as a group we plotted out three novels using the paper tablecloths at the local Italian restaurant during dinner. Gold!
I'm refreshed, revitalised and ready to write. |
