On Monday at 1pm, Garth Nix will be giving a talk on writing, in Sydney. I should go to work but I’ve decided that I’m going to have a sickie and go with a friend to listen to what he has to say.

His latest book, Drowned Wednesday hasn’t been out long and I haven’t had the chance to get hold of a copy but I think that might change on Monday.

Hopefully, this will be an experience that will inspire me on. Garth Nix writes for young adults, he’s Australian and he lives in Sydney - all things that I can say is true about me too (well, almost - I wasn’t born in Australia but I’ve lived here longer than he’s been alive so I guess that makes me Australian in some ways).

I’ll tell you all about it on Monday night.
