Just a quickie

Written by Barry

Not going to blog much today, but nor can I miss a day and fail my 31 day blogging challenge, so I’m going to do my best to squeeze something out.

That sounds more unpleasant than intended.

Today has been fairly hectic. I had a lengthy meeting with a school about an anthology I’m helping the pupils write, and then I had to get back in time to run my creative writing evening class.

Even more exciting than either of those, I’m very pleased to announce that a hat arrived in the mail today. A very special hat, courtesy of the lovely Sam Enthoven. I’m going to be using the hat in a video I’m shooting this weekend.

The video will go online next week, whereupon the hat will be revealed. I have the video all planned in my head, and I think it should look good. We’ll see how it translates from my head to the screen, though, when the camera rolls on Saturday.

In related news, I’ve just finished and submitted another book for Egmont. I started writing it on Sunday night, finished it on Monday evening, then emailed it off this morning. Not a bad turnaround if I do say so myself.
