Just a couple of things

Short post this week, as I've been busy with non writing stuff. 

Alyson Hilbourne suggested sharing this blog post from Kath McGurl on writing dual timelines as she thought it might be of interest to some of us.  I've never attempted writing anything dual timeline. I've read some good pieces written in that style and can see it's a very useful device for the right story, so I'm not ruling it out. How about you? Have you used, or considered using, dual timelines?

I wonder how many of you remember when Kath ran this blog? I don't recall how long ago that was.

Sometime ago, Fiona told us about her experiences on a Hawthornden retreat. You can read the details here, but to sum up, it's a month living in a castle for free, and with help towards transport costs, with nothing to do but write. Applications for next year can be made here.
