The View from Cliff Cottage

What a fantastic day out was had by all on Saturday at the cottage of a very dear writing colleague. Generous in the extreme, this wonderful lady allowed a large group of us to take over the cottage for a whole day. Some took the chance to stay for a couple of nights, not surprisingly. Although the day was full of chat, laughter and eating, it was also very interesting and informative, with different writers talking about their own particular genre.

It may be called a cottage, but this beautiful house on a cliff in the the north east of Scotland is much bigger than that word suggests. It is a special place of creativity, with nothing to disturb the peace but the soothing sound of the sea. Many call it magical and inspirational. There is no doubt that a few days in such a tranquil setting will release anyone's writers block. And if not, there are always the vast array of books as temptation to procrastinate, or inspire.

Today, Monday, I am thoroughly inspired and raring to go. And I've had a positive response from two different editors. I'll pass over the rejection!
