Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original:
whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before)
you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.

Mindful Writing Retreat (April 7-12, 2017)

Dear Friends and other Fellow Humans, 

Apologies for the spamola, it's that time of year again where I'm trying to rustle up support for the annual writing retreat at the Tara Rokpa Centre in the Groot Marico. 

This year we're very proud to have the inimitable Jason Donald (www.jasondonald.org) as a guest facilitator. Jason will be in South Africa shooting a short film in Cape Town, so we're very lucky to have him on board. His most recent novel Dalila  is currently being turned into a movie by Oscar-winning writer/director Christopher Hampton (Dangerous Liaisons, Atonement etc). There's more info about the retreat attached, or you could shoot over to: 


Please let me know if you would rather never hear from me again (i.e. next year around this time), by returning a message with "unsubscribe" in the subject line. Alternatively, you could also just quietly delete this mail and spend the year seething. Otherwise, please let me know if you might be interested in joining us. 

happy days

Anton

Writing is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.
Winston Churchill
There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein. ~Walter Wellesley "Red" Smith
