Hey, I'm not sure I fit in this thread or not ... my profile sez I'm on the beach up there in QLD but not really ... I'm in Tassie. Is that still considered part of the Land Down Under? Doesn't seem like it if you're a politician ... or a tourist guide. But that's alright... just enough people down here in the Emerald Isle anyhow.
Now, where does this thread go from here?
By the way, any other Tassie writers in the area?

Can't afford to travel to Brisbane, I'm afraid.

And I don't write C/YA as a general rule... I'm usually on the early-ages-of-legal-adulthood side of the fence - 18-20-something, I guess.

Hope you have fun there. :)

I just love the idea of meeting other writers face-to-face (and a bit of an escape from home too i guess).

Are there any not YA conferences in Australia, other than the writers festival (ie sydney, melbourn etc)?

There's the annual SCBWI conference but unfortunately that's only held in Sydney.

It's the Childrens and Young Adult conference in Brisbane. I've never been before but I'm booked for this year so I AM Going (if i keep telling myself this I might follow through)

Would be great to know someone else there.


Oh that sounds great, but I'm not sure I can afford it this year.

AussieBilly - Tassie is a beautiful state. Spent a week there about a decade ago, and I seriously would have stayed forever if I could. Welcome.

Well, I did it. I took the plunge on Thursday and enlisted into the Navy. Future Sailor PoP requesting permission to come aboard!

Right, I'm in Sydney, guess that means I should make myself a presence in this thread (I'm going down the list).

Anyone in the Sydney region doing Script Frenzy?* I am terrible at meet ups and the like, but I would like to try for it anyway.

0.0 Just occurred to me to check the Script Frenzy page. *hits head on table*

Also hi.




*I apologise if there is a thread specifically for this, I'll probably find it in the next half hour and be ashamed if there is.

I'll be trying to finish a movie for Script Frenzy this year (that I wrote 2/3 of last year...) but I'm not in Sydney - Adelaide for me.

Oh, and if you go to AW's forum jump at the bottom of every page, there's a section called "NaNoWriMo And Beyond" - that's where you'll find most of the Script Frenzy stuff.

And me, incidentally. :)

Holy crap. No activity on this thread since March? I mean, I know I haven't been here either, but yeesh. I've been busy preparing for boot camp.

I leave in 16 days!

PoP - all the best for boot camp.

I haven't been around because I've been so ill that I've been struggling just to meet my real life committments, so I haven't made any virtual ones and just been too tired to think straight, although I've been my limited brain alert time to edit a book - if that even makes sense... although I've got a lot of reading done.

Take care everyone.

Hi everyone,

I've been lurking for some months so felt it only polite to actually say 'hi' and stop feeling like such a peeping tom.

It's pouring here right now, and the kids are asleep - perfect!
I should be writing but am having way too much fun reading here instead. Actually I should be painting a door or something, but after several weeks of re-painting the house I can't face another roller.

Hope you are all enjoying your long weekend. God save the Queen and all that.
;)
