Noted Writers Festival starts on Wednesday and I am operating on full warp to get all my stuff done in the lead up. (Example tasks include drafting writing prompts for kids about exploding koala bums and spiders with no pants on, and emailing writers to ask them to describe themselves as a bottle of wine.) But I have also had to wrestle with several Excel spreadsheets in the process, so it’s not all fun and games.

It never rains but it pours, so as well as all this I’ve had a major bit of work to do for this year’s Conflux, plus some other secret writers’ business that just happened to come up at the same time.

I think I’m almost on top of it. Who needs sleep anyway?

So if you’re in Canberra next week and you feel like doing some free writing workshops…

Or you want to hang out with some fascinating writerly types and hear what they have to say on stuff…

See some live art (and maybe even get involved in making it)…

I would love to see you at one of the events! The pics above link to the program, which is wildly diverse and amazing.

Alternatively, if you’d prefer to participate from the comfort of your own internet connection, we have a genuinely awesome program of digital events for you to check out, such as…

I’m so excited! It’s going to be fab and it’s nearly here!
