Retreat. We must retreat! Here I am in New Zealand, way up in the north, in sunny (today) Keri Keri. The property is about 10 acres and has its very own waterfall. The lovely owners are dear friends, Kylie Seluka and Russell Kirkpatrick and we are here with other writers working on novels and other writing projects. It is such a luxury to go away and be free to write. I haven’t got up to speed yet but the next 14 days will give me plenty of scope to explore ideas and characters and plots. Last year I wrote 80,000 words, basically a first draft of a novel. This year I hope to work on the sequel.
Anyway here is a short post from the retreat blog.
Here.
