Gees, tomorrow’s July. Half the year has disappeared and I feel like it was only Christmas yesterday. Soon Christmas 2008 will be here.
Getting back into revisions and life in general after a great weekend away at the MRWG retreat.
A wonderful few days spent with some gorgeous ladies. We talked, ate and laughed – and learnt a thing or two about ourselves and our work in the process.
Now, we all have to finish our books so we can submit, sell and celebrate! I love parties –who doesn’t?

Hello and Goodbye
Dropping to say hello and goodbye as I head off to the MRWG retreat in Ocean Grove. A weekend of good food, great company, lots of chatter and writing work of course.
Last year’s retreat was fabulous and I’m expecting this weekend to be the same.
The MRWG meeting was last Sunday and it was a great meeting, especially as we popped champagne (and non-alcoholic stuff) corks for a special lady who had a first sale.
I still can’t say much as she’s waiting to make it official with contracts, etc. Once she gives me the okay, I’ll let you know.
Off to finish packing and cross off the checklist. I keep thinking I’m forgetting something. Oh well…

Just checking in
Hi Everyone,
Just a quick post to say that I’m writing (YAY) and progressing with not one BUT TWO manuscripts at the moment.
Fine-tuning “The Tycoon’s Toughest Adversary” (yes, I know it’s a typical HM&B “oh lord” title, but if it makes an editor take notice, so be it!) just in case Desire want to see the revised full manuscript (please, please, pretty please).
Also working on the revised first chapter and synopsis of “Needing You” for the MRWG retreat next week. I can’t wait.
Then it’s back to revising Danielle’s story “Take Me in Your Arms” – she’s a friend of Amanda from “The Tycoon’s Toughest Adversary” and appears in that manuscript too.
Tomorrow is the Melbourne Romance Writers Guild (MRWG) meeting and I’m sure it will be a fun and productive meeting (they all are) filled with endless laughter, chatty and of course, chocolate.
It will be a special day as there’ll be a celebration (what it is, I can’t say. Sorry, sworn to secrecy). Will tell you all about it in the next post.
Until then, be happy and safe – and keep those fingers tapping at the keyboard!
