New Zealand has gone all "rugbyfied" for a few weeks. The Rugby World Cup starts here today. We're looking forward to an explosive opening ceremony and an even more explosive opening match between Tonga and our very own All Blacks. I'll still be writing in between watching as many televised matches as possible. I'm not planning to attend any of the matches myself, but some of my family members have their tickets so that will add some extra excitement and drama to the occasion.
Tomorrow I am one of the authors presenting workshops at the Young Authors' Day in Hamilton. I'm looking forward to meeting the specially selected young authors from our city and hope my talks and workshops are well received.
More on that later...
