I'm running a guided retreat - Focus on Writing Romantic Fiction - at The Hayes Conference Centre in Swanwick Derbyshire with Relax and Write. So looking forward to it. While these retreats are, obviously for the benefit of my students, I also get so much out of them. I get to talk about writing, look at the way I do things in my novels - the ways other people do them - differently but not wrong - everyone has their own process of writing a novel and it's great to combine ideas in the discussions.
I always come home energized and inspired and usually with a notebook crammed full of ideas for the current book - or the next one - or the next course.
To those who are coming to Swanwick - see you soon. Safe journey. I'm so looking forward to catching up with old friends and making new ones on this course or the Babe Magnet's Writing The Past Which is running on the same weekend.
Oh yes - and I'm delighted to hear that one of my students Kim Lain's (who was on last year's retreat) entry to this year's So You Think You Can Write - has been picked to be in the top 50 of the entries. I haven't seen the full list yet but I do know Kim's name is there.
Congratulations Kim! And good luck for the next round.

Thanks yet again Kate for a fabulous, inspiring and fun writing retreat at Swanwick. As usual, I came home brimming with renewed energy and enthusiasm (just need to do the actual editing now!) but in the meantime I'm looking forward already to your next invaluable course xx
