It was Roald Dahl Day yesterday - a celebration on what would have been his birthday, remembering one of our greatest children's authors.
It was a very appropriate day to gather in a bookshop cafe in Belfast with other children's writers.
We caught up on news, welcomed new people to our SCBWI meet up and heard about the exciting projects they are working on. It's so encouraging and inspiring to hear progress being made, book launches planned and see this supportive kidlit community thriving.
We are very fortunate that round our table we have several published and award winning writers who willingly support other writers who are at earlier stages in their writing careers through these informal chats.
Earlier in the week I hosted our SCBWI Ireland zoom session with Gill Books. Our members across Ireland picked up tips to help in their creative journeys.
Now after these two inspiring SCBWI events with our creative community I'm feeling excited to revisit some of my work.
