Going to Milford

[jacey]

Just getting packed ready for Milford. Wild Welsh Wales here I come. I've managed to read and crit all the first day's stories and most of the second so I'm slightly ahead of the game, but there's a huge workload, reading-wise, and I suspect that I'm probably nowhere near as far ahead as most people. This year there are twelve of us with 24 stories or novel exerpts adding up to approximately 142,000 words to be read and sensibly critted. I'm barely 35,000 words into that so far!

So why am I here? Right I'm gone... off to read some words.

Thanks everyone for best wishes on my birthday. I guess you know how I'm spending it!

See some of you at Milford and the rest when I get back after 4th October.

Thanks and thanks. I've managed to crack through more reading this afternoon and at least I now feel as though I can manage the rest in the reading time (mornings) during the Milford week and still have a couple of hours off to join in with the occasional trip to Carnarvon for supplies (usually: more wine and more chocolate).

Happy Birthday! Happy travels! Happy writing! We didn't forget your birthday, we just only now got up. :)

I know you're a (working) day behind! I wasn't worried.

My son, however, managed one email this week... to ask if anyone had 'happened' to transfer any birthday money for him into his account yet as he's already underestimated what he'll need for the first couple of weeks in Rome. It's not his birthday until 7th October.

Ah, such is life!
