Crimefest was wonderful–as always. But now that’s it’s over (for now even if–hopefully–not forever) there’s a bit of a let down, of course.
The trouble with the wondeful high of meeting and hanging out with auld acquaintances (thanks to the wonderful Cathy Ace for drumming that into us at the gala dinner!) new friends and encountering literary heroes is that you’ve got to return to real life after!
I’m in London for a week, catching up with business and meeting people and though I’m still ‘on holiday’ it’s hard not to think about the 50k words of outline/rough draft back home waiting to be worked on and, more importantly, where the writing is going next–given how things are today, is writing traditional mysteries ‘enough’?
I don’t know. But (for me, anyway) if Heaven is really a place on earth, it might just be somewhere in Bristol!
