WELCOME
With talk of lockdown coming to an end, many of us are getting quite excited about venturing out into the wider world again, but don’t banish lockdown from your memory completely, especially some of the lessons learned. In particular I’m thinking about how we’re all now Zoom/Skype/Hangouts savvy, and the opportunities this presents.I suspect we’ll all be continuing with projects like this whether we can go outdoors or not – webinars, online writing groups, social and business meetings . You don’t have to travel, you can attend sessions from anywhere in the world, and you don’t even have to take your slippers off. Because of lockdown, we had to cancel our planned face-to-face workshop sessions, but they’ve been immensely popular online, led so far by James McCreet and Amy Sparkes, with another, at the end of March, with Helen Walters (http:// writ.rs/ssweb). If you’re interested in trying to run one yourself or for your writer’s group, find out how on p58. I’ll see you on Zoom!
