As reported here by davidlevine, calendula_witch and I enjoyed a grand weekend at the Oregon coast in good company. David hosted a workshop that included himself, kateyule, zellandyne, amberdine, Mr. amberdine, Corie C., and of course, us.

I managed to finish the current round of edits on the Sekrit Projekt, plus critique a rather excellent story by bethbernobich, while calendula_witch produced 7,000 words on Our Lady of the Islands. Others various wrote, revised, plotted or knitted.
