Members of PEN – the New Zealand Society of Authors, have access, at modest cost, to a private house with picturesque views at quiet and somewhat secluded Foxton Beach (try Google – they’ve even done streetview of some of the township). I’ll be decamping there soon for around a week to have a change of pace and loads of writing. My plan is to take a bunch of manuscripts of stories in early draft form and work on revisions as I sit in the upstairs lounge gazing through the picture windows across the estuary, plus lots of evening walks and maybe even a little ocean swimming. Wonderful.
I’ll be away on writing retreat soon, yay.
