First to spend some concentrated time in the company of other writers. All learning from each other with the help of your talented workshop leaders. Especially loved the character exercise. Do you think the shed needs its own lifesize doll that can be your standin for character interviews--always on hand to help you sort out troublesome players? Grumpy may not approve. . .<br /><br />And what a treat to close things out with the Welsh Male Choir--must have been beautiful in that setting.
