Faber Writing Academy


Yesterday's program for writers at the Faber Writing Academy saw a successful launch of my new year's writing goals, with six dedicated hours of inspiration and writing under the experienced tutelage of acclaimed Australian author, Carmel Bird. That old exhilaration quickly resurfaced in response to a solid period of writing that saw my project take shape. Great to be in the company of like-minded writing addicts for the day. I was also able to put into practice advice to write without censoring as I go, which is hard to do, but I pushed through on this, tallying over 2000 words in the time-frame.

Take home message: Just keep swimming!

Thanks to Faber Writing Academy, Allen & Unwin and Carmel Bird for the wonderful day, as well as the bag of goodies, including Michelle Wright's book of short stories, Fine.
