Janeen Brian author of many children’s books and my boys with their signed books!
Over the last two weeks I have:
- written 20 blog post for the Story Arts Festival blog
- written four blog posts for the Write Links blog
- taken hundreds of photos for the Story Arts festival several of which I have seen popping up on author and illustrator Facebook pages
- Tweeted as @StoryArtsFest
- had a pre-launch for Meet Sidney Nolan in front of Australia’s best loved children’s book authors, illustrators and publishers and introduced by Megan Daley from Children’s Book Daily
- pitched to three editors
- met some of Australia’s amazing children’s writers and illustrator
- and spend time with my writing friends, Write Links and SCBWI buddies
I also have over the last two weeks:
- missed my 5 year old’s performance in his school’s talent show!
- made my husband solely responsible for dealing with sick kids, getting everyone fed , clean, and off to school and kindy (when they weren’t sick)
- become the mother of an adult, no longer the mother of a teenager!
- gone to work, kids soccer and ballet practice
- dealt with two cases of head lice (The EXTRA glamorous part!)
I am exhausted, exhilarated and ready for sleep! But, there are stories to write, launches to prepare and my children (and husband) need some extra big hugs!
For a fabulous write-up on Meet Sidney Nolan and the Random House Meet… series you can read this post by Megan Daley.
