... but i *can* tell you what i'm doing at the end of next month.

the official program for the byron bay writers festival was released today. i will be on two panels, having a chat to some young'uns, doing a reading, conducting a half-day workshop, and participating in as much other costumed and un-costumed frivolity as i can get into. details of my official appearances are as follows:
thursday 26 july -
9.30 - 12.30pm half-day workshop 'showing not telling'
1.45 - 2pm (schools program): 'now i can call myself a writer: first timers discuss their journeys', with alexandra adornetto.
saturday 28 july -
4.15 - 5.30 pm 'laugh out loud: the serious business of being silly' with nury vittachi and charles firth, moderated by moya sayer-jones
8pm (feature event) 'people who take the piss: good fun and big laughs' with bryan dawe, charles firth and nury vittachi.
sunday 29th july -

9.30 - 10am reading, with james phelan
1.30pm - 3pm 'Blogging: why do it, who does it and who reads it?' with marieke hardy, anthony lowenstein, kate crawford and deepika shetty, moderated by fiona martin

Sounds like you're going to have a lot of fun! That's a great program (and more besides) And have you met Ms Fits before...the blogging discussion sounds a goodie.
