Adelaide and the NYT
Monday, March 1, 2010 at 4:50PM 
I am just back from a quick trip to Adelaide where the festival is now in full swing and writers' week has begun. The city is crawling with writers so if you're anywhere close by, check out the calendar for details.
In other good news, THE FORGOTTEN GARDEN trade paperback has hit bookstores in the US and debuted at #15 on the New York Times Best Seller list.
And finally, it's autumn in the antipodes and there's rain, rain, rain and much fog. Perfect! For those of you who've endured a fierce winter, I hope the dewberries are flowering and your toes are beginning to thaw.

I keep forgetting to publish this link in the journal. Many of you will have seen it already. It's an article from the Guardian called Ten Rules for Writing Fiction in which a variety of writers give their top ten tips. Fascinating article. The moral is this: no two writers do it the same way.
