My emerging writer residency is done and dusted. The novel I’ve worked on for the last three weeks? I’ve carefully put it back into the drawer – not for too long hopefully. Right now, Road trip needs urgent attention. I’m slightly limping behind my deadline and need to hand over the manuscript asap.

Don’t panic, I tell myself. (It only helps a little). All of the images are ready to go and I simply need to work out a good way to pass them on to my publisher in the UK. It’s a huge amount of GB  – I know there’s internet platform out there which can do that, I just need to research which to use. Any tips, let me know!

While I’m typing in the comfort of my home again, Laurie, the current writer in residence is gearing up for great workshops to come. I’ll let you know what and where next!
