After class I jumped in the car and headed south. Met up with Tash and Paul for a drink, walk along the beach, a drink and farewells. Was fabulous to see Tash (yes I got teary eyed). We talked about all sorts of stuff...

Back home and desert with tutor Ian Irvine. We alternatively drilled him for info on publishing and crapped on about our own experiences in the world of short fiction. He's a pretty cool guy.

A collaborative meeting with Nathan (plus wine) followed. Am starting to realise this whole collaborative gig might be harder than expected. It will be a fabulous experience for me. We have negotiated over names... now down to the mechanics!
