This week I had an opportunity to reflect on the remains of Roman Fort on the hillside at Lympne. I am away from home for a few days and visited Fishbourne Roman Palace - a bit grander than our fort I am sure! The mosaics were incredible and discovered in the sixties when some water pipes were due to be laid.
Before I went, I was determined to be on track with my writing target of one chapter a week and made good progress with my novel on Monday. As well as the writing, I read through a chapter and made corrections.
With a whole series of Summer Holiday themed workshops coming up, I have already written the introductory session and made the handouts. In the last couple of days I have prepared my lesson notes for two workshops where my workshop attendees will become characters attending or working at holiday camps in the 1950s. At the moment I need to leave parts of the sessions flexible so I can tweak them as the characters/sessions evolve. Each workshop is first written as a five hour session and then reduced to also run as a two-hour session. This should suit all my regular attendees. Next I need to make the worksheets and then I'll be prepared for workshops until July.
