2024 Week 6: It’s not what you think.

You’re probably thinking because I’m a couple of days late with this week’s blog that I must have forgotten all about it. Wrong! I wrote it on time but then the dog ate it. Yes, that’s right.

Here’s a picture of him just to prove it. Bad dog Rover! Bad dog ~~Llama~~ Rover!

Anyway, now that we’ve got that misunderstanding cleared up, I can get on with telling you what happened in the last week. AGAIN.

The main thing that happened was that my editor at Scholastic Australia sent me the illustrator’s draft storyboard of my next picture book which is due to be released next year.

It’s looking good and it’s exciting finally seeing the words and images start to come together. After feedback and suggestions from me and from the editor, the illustrator will now work on an updated version. Can’t wait to see it.

The book itself is about a frog who has big dreams. Maybe too big.

I also finished Book 5 in my ’24 in 24′ Reading Challenge.

It was the biography of NBA Basketball superstar LeBron James by Jeff Benedict. Really enjoyed it. An incredible athlete and a fascinating man with an amazing life journey.

Actually LeBron and I have quite a lot in common. Way back when I played soccer, I used to were a headband too

Apart from that, things have been pretty quiet. My wife and I did spend a lovely day and night out in the countryside at beautiful Dayboro … but we definitely didn’t see any llamas!
