Seville and the Hill

Yep, I officially suck at regularly updating on here. Part of the reason for that is that I now have a Facebook Page that I update a lot, so it feels as though I am doing something. Speaking of doing, does it feel weird to anyone else that doing and boing don't rhyme? And going? I mean, come on. Seriously.

Anyway, it has been a great month since I last wrote on here. I went out and visited Seville Primary School, where Erin Portingale, my step-niece is in her first year of teaching and doing an awesome job!!! I had a great day out there with the kids, and it was nice to be out towards Warburton as well, a loverly part of the world for sure.

Then I also visited Princes Hill Primary School in Carlton, and this was awesome as well. It was a school that was a little more open-learning style, where the classes were neighbourhoods rather than specific class groups. Anyway, it worked well and I had great fun out there as well.

So all in all a great month for schools, and I also just went out to Healesville Craft market which went really well in a beautiful setting.

So life is good!

In other news, I have a new project I have been working on for Hinkler Books. I will keep you updated as to release dates and so on, but basically I am 2 parts out of 8 in a big collection of things. I wrote some rhymes and some tongue twisters, so it was great fun and I am hanging to see it when it is done.

Have a great week, and keep living the dream.

Stay Gold.

What's on at Watsonia Primary???

I'll tell you what's on ... well, I'll tell you what was on ... ME!!! That's right, I got back into the swing of school visits with a visit to Watsonia Primary. I spent the day out there drawing and reading and writing and generally just having a great time. The kids were awesome fun, and we had some good laughs.

Then last week I spent the week in Adelaide. Yep, we drove over to spend the week at the Adelaide Writer's week. It was actually really great. I saw a whole lot of people speaking, writers and publishers from all over the world. They all had their own special personality, and I learnt a lot from watching them ... now I just need to learn from them how to sell a few million copies of my books!!!

It was great though, even just being surrounded by people who love books and writing was amazing, as it inspires you to keep going, keep writing, keep creating, and keep doing what you love.

So until next time, and I promise it won't be as far apart as the last two posts, have a great week and keep living the dream.

Stay Gold.
