Yesterday we hoofed it up to Bowral to have lunch with Trudi Canavan. On the way, Russell Kirkpatrick took us on a carefully planned excursion to waterfalls and views of and to the escarpment. I like these little excursions because I feel slightly more intelligent and it often fuels my ideas for writing. Not so much novel ideas but bits of detail that make the worlds I traverse slightly more real and interesting.
After the trip to Bowral though my neck hurt a bit and I felt a bit off colour. Dreams of writing a whopping big 5,000 word splurge were easily forgotten and despite the Kung Fu movie with very little Kung Fu and lots of black magic, I finished my knitting and went to bed. The thunderstorm was very impressive with rumbling thunder that went on and on and light displays that made Russell gasp with excitement.
Today however I am writing fit and I cooked chocolate dream muffins that have kicked started my engine.
Now I’m off to blog on the fantasywritersonretreat.wordpress.com blog
I am such a sport.
