Or rather, I will be blogging but you won&#8217;t be able to read my material for two months while I undertake a writing retreat on Maatsuyker, a remote island. I am going as an artist-in-residence, a program supported by Arts Tasmania and Tasmania National Parks &#38; Wildlife.

This year, Julian Barnes won with his 150-page novel, The Sense of an Ending. Dame Stella Rimington, chair of this year&#8217;s  judging [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=writingcompanion.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1283430&amp;post=2426&amp;subd=writingcompanion&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
