And I agree with you, there's no substitute for hard work and persistience. <BR/><BR/>The photo reminds me a bit of where the Dodge festival is held.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and you may want to try NaMoWritMo, as suggested in an earlier post. I tried it two years ago but couldn't keep up. Fortunately, there's a NaPoWritMo for April (I think).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24246495.post-1157799093214279342006-09-09T22:51:00.000+12:002006-09-09T22:51:00.000+12:00Hi Catherine,I'm from Brisbane Australia - Felix C...Hi Catherine,<BR/>I'm from Brisbane Australia - Felix Cheong sounds like and interesting guy, I suspect we'll see him at next the Poetry Festival that's looming.

The description of the convention is intresting and the debate about enough time to write. Don't forget that <A HREF="http://www.nanowrimo.org/userinfo.php?uid=97040" REL="nofollow">NaNoWriMo</A> is coming up in November and is an ideal time to wrie. I tried it last year and despite the mad effort it was fun and I'm already thinking about 2006.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://rashbre2.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">rashbre</A>rashbrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01138427049001650099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24246495.post-1157794749037660802006-09-09T21:39:00.000+12:002006-09-09T21:39:00.000+12:00Very good post, Catherine.

It's not very constructive and encourages a mindset where it's allowed, even admired, to fail. As long as you fail loudly in a whiny voice. LOL<BR/><BR/>I find the statement by the Vendor that there's one country short in the Middle East to be quite apt. And your picture of the mill wheel is lovely, Catherine. Great work.<BR/><BR/>Michele sent me to see you!utenzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988445461413550750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24246495.post-1157776756691051982006-09-09T16:39:00.000+12:002006-09-09T16:39:00.000+12:00I haven't been to many conventions on a specific t...I haven't been to many conventions on a specific topic like this one, but the ones I HAVE visited - the "conversations with" type of session was always better. :)<BR/><BR/>(I love that photo, by the way.)<BR/><BR/>Hello from Michele's!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
