Had a very quiet day Sunday. Lots of napping. A fair bit of writing. Lots sweating - it was a real stinker!

Today first session with Ian Irvine. He talked a bit about his background in writing and the process of publishing novels - which was all good stuff.

Only two stories up for critique today. The convenors had expressed the concern to us last night that they thought we were pulling punches in the critique room. So today we were perhaps a little firmer. The two people whose stories were up seemed OK with it.

This afternoon had a long nap - then a swim. Now got to finish my critiques and get a few hours writing time in tonight.
