It’s Official…
I’m a writer! Or so the tag says. 🙂
I very much enjoyed my day at the Christchurch Writers Festival yesterday, starting the day in my “Why YA” panel with John Boyne and Jane Higgins, doing the Margaret Mahy Memorial Reading of “The Man Whose Mother was A Pirate” later in the day and attending the grand finale session with 5 grand New Zealand poets: Riemke Ensing, Bernadette Hall, Cilla McQueen, Harry Ricketts, and Ian Wedde. A long but great day for a writer—or so the tag says. 😉
To find out more about how the “Why YA” session went, you can read the ZacKids from Christchurch City Libraries’ write up, here. And yes, there’s even a few photos—thank you, Christchurch City Libraries.

Wonderful affirmation (he! he!)… I’m slightly frustrated that I was unable to get to any weekend events.. it’s exams/marking/report writing season at work…
I was there in spirit..LOL

Well, spirit is good, but realtime is best.:) Overall a very good weekend and all kudos to Ruth, Morrin, Marianne and the rest of the festival team for making it happen in “our city” again.
Sounds like a fantastic day!
Twas fun, but tiring—and am playing catch up now! 😉
I guess that’s a bit like a poetic licence?
You may be right.:)
