Writing from History - final instalment!

Writers_VictoriaToday marked the last gathering of our intrepid troupe of writers at Writers Victoria. Some time to share and write, reflect and evaluate. An opportunity to gather some final gems from our illustrious leader, Christine Balint. At day's end we are released, primed apprentices prepared to fly solo on our respective projects. With NaNoWriMo already having dawned I have already begun this journey in earnest, adding to my daily word count for this historical fiction project, resurrecting the wartime memories of the small child who survived the Nazi torment that altered forever the landscape of her home, family and country - who emerged somehow from a childhood lost - who eventually left that life behind, leaving her homeland behind to make a new life in Australia. The child who grew up and became my mother.
