Get out the glad rags

This morning's reading of the local paper reveals that a centre for writers and readers will be launched just up the road next week. Local luminaries like Robyn Annear, Carmel Bird, Rob Wallis, Lisa D'Onofrio and Deborah Coulthard are seeking to establish a quiet space for writing (sounds divine), as well as a place for more rambunctious pursuits like workshops, reading, mentoring, publication advice, book launches, getting together for writerly gossip and other events. It could be just the thing to compensate for no longer having the VWC just around the corner.

Consider it jotted down in my diary. I might even delve into the wardrobe and dig out a skirt for the party.
