Retreating in order to advance
Sometimes you just have to. Retreat, that is. In order to advance. So that's what I did last week. Went on my first ever writing retreat. Four days. The Women's Fiction Writers Association writing retreat to be specific. WFWA has been two years in...
Never Give Up (aka the rejection letter that made me cry tears of joy)

Of holidays, hot springs and cold shoulders
They say a change is as good as a rest... or something like that. Well, I decided that a rest would be a good change. It was definitely time for a road trip - even if it was just an overnight one, so we headed off to the hot springs in Palm Desert/Palm Springs. The...
