In the tiny corner of this wonderful planet where I live, Spring is just around the corner and with it comes renewed optimism. The season when things really start to grow and our book is no exception.
February saw the most significant progress yet on our novel as all the writing team are gelling and working around the clock. The chapters are coming together and during March a lot more than green shoots will be sprouting in our literary garden.
The past weeks have not been without challenges however and it would be wrong to gloss over some of the huge personal issues our writing team have also had to deal with. One of our writers from Penang in Malaysia lost her father only weeks after her son passed away and another writer from Canada is bravely fighting cancer. In Colorado, a writer's mum has also been diagnosed with cancer. We were relieved to learn that Australia's bush fires kept clear of our writers 'down under' and so far no eruption of Mount Redoubt in Alaska, although it still threatens our writer there and the repeated earthquakes must be a constant source of anxiety.
This is a team of strong as well as talented individuals who are putting extraordinary energy into this book. It will be a classic novel!
