World Book Day has come and gone and I know many authors, including myself, are still recovering. I visited Hardenhuish School in Chippenham, and had an action packed day.
It was fascinating seeing how differently the groups reacted to the same talk and creative writing activities. What worked in one group, wasn't as successful in the next, weird. It was wonderful to discover some real writing talent there, and I do hope some of them were inspired to write their own scifi or fantasy stories and to read as much as they can. They certainly have a magnificent school and library that was most ably staffed yesterday, by Sherlock Holmes.
My day was made even more interesting as I met Elizabeth Bennett, the White Rabbit, The Mad Hatter and the cowardly lion. I even got to have lunch with Katniss Everdeen, which was most exciting, as you can imagine. Well done to the staff for entering into the spirit of World Books day. Thanks so much for inviting me, it was amazing.
