I came back from the retreat and organised my facebook page, commissioned my sister to redo the website and started being active on twitter.<br /><br />It was great listening to everyone and although none of us can pull a rabbit out of a hat like Tommy, we can try at least to wear a hat I think.Chitra Soundarhttp://www.chitrasoundar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701894736280253278.post-78072804259769098422011-07-11T19:25:02.854+01:002011-07-11T19:25:02.854+01:00This is a great article - for aspiring and publish...This is a great article - for aspiring and published authors.

Tommy has all of his scary stuff, Steve Hartley (Danny Baker Record Breaker) has his big pants. I wonder what others take. I do have a character with hair like twitching, jerking spiders legs. I wonder if I need a battery operated wig!<br />Great post Jo, wish I'd been there.Maureen Lynashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16855138050232488108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701894736280253278.post-24170589587721329232011-07-11T08:35:24.517+01:002011-07-11T08:35:24.517+01:00Thanks for the reminder of the wonderful retreat.
