Feast of Words At Coonabarabran High, it’s that time of year again, time to swirl a handful of words around on your tongue, savour some meaning and plate up your 50 word novel! The theme for 2020 is ‘key’. Maybe your high school days are long gone, but I’m sure your taste for words is as gourmand as ever, what 50 word dish will you serve us?

I am slow by nature. I like to take the time I need to do things, to understand things. At times, I’ve been frustrated with my pace, now slow and steady is my motto, where I am comfortable. Over time, I’ve discovered that some clichés work wonders, it’s all about the journey not the destination… the process is full of mistakes and magic. The destinations and goals that inspire me grow constantly, quicker than I can explore them all, but they keep me dreaming, they keep me believing, they keep me moving, slow and steady, step by step. What do pace and process look and feel like for you?
