I confess…

Yes…the race that stops the nation (Australia’s Melbourne Cup)stopped this 2009 NANO participant from writing for a short time today.
Shocking – I know! (and ‘Shocking’ I backed. What a horse! What a jockey!)

My excuse for not writing while the race was on was, or course, research.
With my NANO novel having an Australian country town setting (thanks Bronwyn Parry for the inspiration) I figured, why not include Melbourne Cup race day fun – country town style. So I did.

Now it’s back to my own race – 50,000 words by 30 November.

    I hope you won lots of money.
    I went with the tipsters and lost all mine.

  2. Remember the turtle and the hare. Slow and steady wins the race too – especailly when it comes to writing.
    All the best

  3. I'm glad someone had a winner!

    Good luck for Nano.
