Ruskin’s Mill Writer’s Retreat (by sarah)
Today I went to my second one day writer's retreat - this time at Ruskin Mill near Nailsworth. It was organised by the same people Writing Space Stroud and was once again lovely.
It was raining and I currently do not have a camera which is why there are not a hundred photos of chickens with feather flares and light sculptures on the water.
This time it was £30 instead of £20 but included a yummy lunch in the cafe.
I met more writers and had great conversations over tea and cake and lunch between mad sprees of writing. I got 9000 words of The Awakening written today which is amazing even if it does mean the novel is going to be much longer than I was expecting :/
I will finish off the last 1000 words before bed to round it up to 10K.
Once home Alaric made a lovely dinner whilst I made some visual poetry booklets out of card, pen, and old writing magazines. This lead to a fun discovery of using someone I know's story title as part of it 🙂

They look fun. I met up with friends, a couple of whom are book binders and it always makes my fingers itch to make some. I think I need me some " play" time. All work and no play is making me very dull!

Book bindings on my to do list 🙂 I find other creatives always spark my own creativity.
