The Kitchen Cupboard, latest version uploaded 8/27/2009 Description: This is the 20 Page submission that I have sent to the Varuna Writers' Centre (courtesy of the website being brought to my attention by Freya and her assistance!) for the Publisher Fellowships 2009!! It is far from complete and i am busy writing more and more, but I wanted to challenge myself and as the Applications close on Monday 31 August and Annie left for Argentina this week, it has been full on as they say in the trade! Oh yes and I've just done another "Tradies" article - hope the picture does it justice!!
