All Things In Good Time

Dear All

The phrase 'all things in good time' is rather at odds with this city and yet at the same time completely correct - rather like 'inshallah' in some ways; an acceptance that something is coming but not quite yet.  Kind of.  Not exactly ;)  In fact the two phrases have vast differences!  The first is not dependent on any belief, the second is if God wills it - although after living here for some time as I have one says the phrase even as an athiest  Anyway without getting tied up in sayings.. please go to my Writers' Centre blog update to catch up on the latest news which pertains to ARC also - as it's all me ;)

Dreams & Writing Course in Bahareya - it was AMAZING!!!

I am just back from the fabulous residential writing course I just ran in Bahareya, Egypt. 

 It was an amazing experience for us all; such sheer beauty and tranquility in the deserts and oases; so many riches available for one's writing.

I can't wait to do the next one and will start planning soon!

Huge thanks to the great work from Cresco - Dalia Abou Senna & Claes Raben who organised the travel, tours, accommodation and bliss and the wonderful, beautiful people who came along on the course: Mehra Magd, Hanaa Hammad, Mona Yassin, Hanna Sistek, Mohammed Yahia, Mirette Baghat, Nora Tee, Ola El Ababby, Mina Sonbol, Myriam Rizkillah.
