Holiday Day... ummm.. 5? Just
EnVision has come and gone. And it was worth every cent. All three tutors had nice, helpful and interesting things to say. All the people were great. I have a lot of work to do, though thankfully most of it is _fairly_ minor.
Intense? Still wouldn't say that. Intense for me would be writing 5k words in one day, but most of the stuff I did at the workshop was fiddling, more than anything else. Editing and rearranging and thinking. All of it was fun and worthwhile and has improved my manuscript, but not intense. My story was fairly complete though so...
Went to Wordpool on Tuesday which was fun as well. Four really good readings there-- special mention to Sean Williams (and his haikus) and Trent. Was a good night. Also gave me a chance to catch up with some people before I go away (as if I see most of them more than once a month anyway). I will be missing my second Vision meeting in about 7 years... I really need to get a life...
Leaving for Melbourne tomorrow. Woo hoo. I think I've packed everything but of course, it really is impossible to know. I won't know until I go looking for something. The main things I need-- tent and food (to save money-- ie, I won't have to hire rooms for the night and I won't have to eat take-out.) Check. Computer (for writing-- most important thing of all). Check. Camera. Check. Warm clothes. Check. I have actually taken most of the clothes that I own-- at least the ones I've worn in the past year. I know I have to much, but better safe than sorry.
First night is in South West Rocks. Two nights there, actually. Hopefully lots of opportunity for photos, seeing I'm camping at an old goal there.
Other than that... time for bed. Supposed to be leaving early tomorrow morning. That's looking less likely each passing minute.
I need your address if you want me to send a postcard, Kate. If I get your address Heather you can have one too. Wouldn't that be exciting :) Any further requests may be considered.
