​Rachel and nine fellow writers attended the TWPC's annual writers retreat in historic Ravenswood. Rachel organised and facilitated the retreat, conducting 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 Rachel and the TWPC.

Rachel assisted with the TWPC's second Scribblerz Workshop this week, 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. Rachel will be busy over the next few days designing these cushion covers for the seven excited children.
