On a more cheerful note...

...the 3-hour workshop, 'Entertaining Fantasies', that I'm running, up at the Brisbane Writers Festival (you wouldn't believe the wrangling about apostrophes that's been going on in the newspapers), is sold out, all 15 places. Glad to see some people have got their act together.

And I happen to know that participants are flying in from the Yemen, Saskatchewan, Mawson Base and Trinidad and Tobago for that one, so don't come crying poor to me.

Note: Yes, ironic too. Sigh.
