You must be so pleased and excited and worried and impatient and scared and chuffed and all the wonderful feelings that working at Anam Cara provides!

I completely get the need to be warm - nothing worse than cold feet interfering with the creativity.<br /><br />I dunno if I could write at a retreat...I'll have to try it when the kids are a bit older...is there a biscuit jar you can raid at regular intervals?Rachel Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046917627054462214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674510287177469473.post-91080126872415402702010-02-10T13:16:18.319-08:002010-02-10T13:16:18.319-08:00Tom, Consider that drink booked.

I'd love to discuss the experiencce - perhaps over a drink at the Willesden launch. I've been on a few meditation retreats, but never really isolated myself to just write. <br /><br />Well done. Not talking about the draft is, I find, key to maintaining motivation to push on with subsequent ones. Don't tell the story, except to your keyboard/typewriter.<br /><br />And the road signs. Ha. I remember them well.TOM VOWLERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436338454781485164noreply@blogger.com
