The second week of the Orange Festival was terrific. Really competent and enthusiastic writers and a real pleasure to be with. In my 'Guest Writers' spot I've posted a group poem which captures Homer's Odyssey in poetry form.

Well done all of you!

I'm preparing now for tutoring on the NAWG Conference at St. Aidan's College, Durham University between 1-3 September. This is always a wonderful conference and I'm really looking forward to it. There are so many people there from different writing groups around the country. Any member of a writing group who might be reading this blog, and who hasn't yet been to an annual NAWG Writing week-end at Durham, look up NAWG on the web and contact Mike Wilson it's well worthwhile, even if you can't get on for this year.
