Writing: Sent a couple of short stories off to the Writer's Digest 82nd Annual Writing competition. Apart from that, working on the added scenes in The Isthmus - yep, they must go into the RIGHT PLACE.
Back to work tomorrow - starting with a PD Day, students back on Tuesday. It's been a wonderful two week break; hard to psyche up to the rat race. And yes, back to once a week blog posts.
Happy writing (and wish I were bushwalking too)
