The Boogie Books Blog

It is so lovely to share... The run sheet for the event and my words... ..

Bucket Lists are what we think of as the year draws to a fast, hurtling close!  Have we done everything we set out to do? Have we finished projects?  Are we proud of what we have achieved? Well, a great story from Child Writes is another 12 children have just (today!) finished their books. We refer to them as the newest members of the 100 CLUB, because that is how many hours we estimate they have poured into creating, writing and illustrating their own picture book.  ..

I was thinking about you all as I backed tutor Jodie Rigby with the editing last week.  I agree with Jodie, the feedback from an editor is not always nice because we work so hard on our words and having to delete or change them doesn't always make us feel good. ..

I was intrigued from the beginning – ‘to get here, we are in Redfern Street, Redfern, just look for the Marian Embassy’ – really!  If that is possibly not the best ‘hook’ ever for starting an adventure, I don’t know what would be! ..

We have come a long way!
I really wish I had a copy of the logo from the very first Boogie Books website – I can’t even remember when it was launched, and I am sure it would be ‘out there’ somewhere, but it really was fabulous at the time, yet terribly embarrassing now!   ..
