Warrah Writers' Workshop

Yesterday Megan and I braved the elements to join the Warrah Writers for one of their workshops. In the driving rain we bolted into the sanctuary of the Warrah Community Hall to listen to author Louisa Butler. In total 12 of us did a range of stimulating exercises with Louisa's guidance, concentrating particularly on characterisation and plotting. A number of the Warrah Wrtiers are working on their own manuscripts so found Louisa's advice very helpful. On the way home Megan and I discussed our plans for the next Nundle Writing Retreat workshop and we're feeling really inspired. It is also great fun planning the menu for both Saturday and Sunday. I have been playing around in the kitchen experimenting with tasty new recipes, also managing to master my mother's fabulous pavlova recipe. So pavlova will definitely be on the menu for July! I think homegrown lambshanks might also be order of the day. Will continue to keep you all posted...
