Weekend of Writing

I know it may be hard to believe - but the sun actually made a very rare appearance yesterday. I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised, as I was down at Coney with the writing gang when it happened. 

Our catch up over coffee and chocanana muffins with a bit of writing thrown in was a welcome distraction from this incessant rain. And it's been a weekend of good writing news - with acceptances for a poem and a short story, as well as news of an anthology on the way.

It's turned out to be a busy writing weekend, with some preparation/ homework for the 'Writing Historical Fiction for Young People' course I've been doing through the Irish Writers Centre to be completed, along with catching some sessions at the SCBWI virtual winter conference.

Thankfully I'll be able to catch the recordings of some other sessions. In this horrible winter weather it's been great to be able to attend both a course and conference from the comfort of home, without having to venture outside. But the sun came out for a while again today, and it was great to get out and see signs of spring on the way.
