Writing Workshops for kids















What a fantastic day! This morning I had a gorgeous group of budding writers at Tuggeranong Library, then this afternoon it was another group of fabulous kids at Gungahlin Library. We had lots of laughs, some amazing ideas zinged around the room and it was so inspiring to see young minds excited about writing down their thoughts. Even those who found the physical act of hand writing had a go and were pleased with what they could achieve in under an hour. Thanks to all the wonderful librarians who organised rooms and materials. You made me feel very welcome!
