When I have days where I question myself or my writing, I think of how engaged the kids were and it really motivates me to keep going. Even if your book isn't kid appropriate, finishing it is an achievement in itself and one step to being a published author. You got this.
Does anyone suffer eczema? Any advice? I've tried a few creams - prescribed and off the shelf and I am going back to the doctors, but I need something in the mean time because it is driving me bananas.
Last week was book week and I was invited to do some writing/book talks at three primary schools nearby and it went so awesomely well. I was nervous - as always, and really wasn't in the mood for it - but the kids were so engaging and fun to talk too. They asked a lot of questions and really just made the whole thing worthwhile. I tried getting them involved by asking them questions about writing and they showed me some stories they were working on too.
I donated my books to their school library and apparently they're all keen to borrow them. I also had the books sell out at the local store nearest them and I restocked them and it's almost sold out again. It's only 6 or 7 copies but it's taken months to even sell that many at times so it was really cool and a surprise.
Sadly they don't have what I am looking for. But they are pretty good.
