Well after Midnight...

Listening to: Angus & Julia Stone

It's been a crazy few days...I need to come up for air, I kinda feel like I'm drowning right now coz it ain't over. It's all good but a little insane and it would be nice to find some quiet time to reflect, think, sit, ponder life, READ, sheesh, I don't know, stop and enjoy what's around me, the birds, the sun, the water, the colour of the sky - the lightning that lit up the Brisbane night like a Christmas tree - amazing and freaky all at the same time. Yep, I'm rambling but then I'm the Midnight Rambler...

Disappointed I didn't make the BWF this year, first one I've missed in quite a few years but I did spend all day at the CYA con which was kinda part of the BWF. I got to spend the day in workshops with John Marsden and Paul Collins and many more great inspirational people and of course fellow writers and peers, so it was fabulous. Also, great to put faces to names where I've chatted online to but never met. And catching up with interstaters was great too!

This week I'm preparing for a week long retreat of writing at Joondaburri with fellow members of 'Writers on the Edge'. Looking forward to escaping the craziness that surrounds me right now and dedicating my time to writing and time out for which hopefully will include an almost finished novel, walks along the beach, wine, food, wonderful company, laughter and hilarity. There's nothing more magick than slipping into the world of creativity and having permission to do so without all the niggly responsibilities of the outside world. So that's it for me probably until I get back, so cya in October...

After midnight

Hi all...

How goes it? Thought it time I checked in - but not much to say. Finally getting on top of things and moving forward with my novel. Have my yearly writing retreat coming up and soooo' looking forward to it. Hanging out with my friends and writing - what better way to spend a week!

Just seen a great movie 'Bonneville' and all I want to do now is a road trip around the west coast of America! How awesome hey?

But back to writing. Am going to the CYA conference next weekend - looking forward to learning new things about writing for YA, connecting with old buddies and making new ones. Lots of things to look forward to!

Cya next time over midnight ramblings...

WELCOME

Hi to all who may have stumbled upon this page. This is the ramblings of me...I'm new to blogging so bear with me. I'm in the process of building a website...hmmm...I've been saying that for awhile now, but in the meantime you can see what else I've been up to by visiting me on Myspace or Facebook.

I'm currently writing my third novel and racing against the clock to edit sections of it for submissions to writing retreats, mentorships, and contests. Time is not on my side! So better stop blogging and get on with it. I will update as often as possible and let you know my progress.

Cya
