With stormy autumn weather and darker evenings well and truly here, it's been good to take shelter and get back to indoor activities, although it's also been good to be outside enjoying the season after the weekend's gales.
At the weekend I was back at Coney with writing friends, catching up on news over coffee and apple and cinnamon muffins. Later we made plans and did a writing exercise composing some fun poems, in recognition of National Poetry Day which had fallen during the week.
Later I managed to get outside for a spot of reading in the garden in the late afternoon sunshine.
Last night we kicked off the winter 'Picture This, Write Now' SCBWI sessions. While I resent the darker evenings drawing in, I took this opportunity to make space for some writing and was pleased that at the end of the session I'd completed the first draft of a new short story.
It will need a bit more work, but it's something to return to and develop, which wouldn't exist if I hadn't shown up to write.
