It’s hard sending your first manuscript off to be judged.   In the case of an application, you are in a way asking them to judge you–your ability to write.  The questions can make you question yourself.

“Am I good enough?”

“Do I have enough skill to benefit from your program?”

It took a lot of emotional energy to get the  application for Ossabow Island Writers’ Retreat done and sent in.  In the end it all worked out.

I was accepted into the program!

Right now I am still revising Soulchaser and trying to clean up the ending.  At the Retreat I will work with the faulty on my first few chapters.

Our family vacation will be in the region of the retreat.  I am looking forward to exploring nature, bringing back some photos and inspiration to share.  I generally post my pictures to Instagram.
