I'm not here

Tomorrow, I'll be off to attend the UK GLBTQ Meet in Brighton. I'm the one wearing shirts with French cuffs and cuff links. Tonight is preparation and meeting an online friend, then packing.

I'll return Sunday afternoon. Monday morning, I'm off to the Arvon Foundation course on historical writing held in Yorkshire. While I'm there, I won't have access to the internet. If you're waiting for an email from me, chances are, I won't answer until the 22 September. There's no internet and no mobile phone reception. I know. I'm scaring myself.

While in Yorkshire, I'm hoping to kickstart my Muse again and make tracks on the birds book. Every free minute is now about reading some from my reading list to prepare for the course (I'm not plunking down that much cash only to flunk out on my prep work).

So, busy times. I'll be back, though my hope is that Monday leads me straight back into the flow and once I'll hit it, I'll have to finish that book. I promised the historical novel for early 2013. There's only about 3.5 months left in the year, and I have 60k to write.

I'll see you on the flipside.

Gavin Stephenson-Jackman Have a great trip. I'm not sure how I would survive without Internet access. The phone service would be an annoyance but there is always the pay phone.
