​Along with nine fellow writers, this weekend I attended the TWPC's annual writers retreat in historic Ravenswood. I had the pleasure of organising and facilitating the retreat, where I conducted short workshops on first pages, characters, and conflict. Participants also shared the first pages of their work for critique. The weekend was a success for both myself and the TWPC.

This week, I'm assisting with the TWPC's second Scribblerz Workshop, helping host a two day workshop with facilitator Jill Staunton, who taught participants about microfiction. The children wrote wonderful 8 word stories, 25 word stories, and then produced a 50-80 word story to print on a cushion cover. I will be busy over the next few days designing these cushion covers for the seven excited children.
