What's New, What's Happening, What's Next?

August 24, 2006

Hello!
This newsletter is to share with you the latest from
www.chocmint.com and the authors/illustrators who create
there.
We also include a few writing tips too, just to keep you
bubbling over with ideas.

And it's short. No waffle.

1. Rob Daniel's Magical Mystery Tour of the Imagination
begins in Esperance on September 11th, and also visits
Kalgoorlie-Boulder and Perth. Eight shows in five schools,
about an hour each session. These are creative writing and
memory workshops designed to stun the imagination into
action, and demonstrate how each one of us is a creative
genius. Kids will also learn how to never forget anything,
ever again.

Very exciting, heaps of fun, and I am VERY MUCH looking
forward to this next part of the adventure.

2. Liz Stringer in England is busy creating some images for
our next book. If you love A Tail's Tale, you'll love this.
If you haven't got your 'Tail's Tale' yet, visit
www.chocmint.com to download your copy now.

3. Rajeev Athale's head is hovering over his latest set of
drawings for 'Bill' in India, a ducks tale written by Tom
Maguire and Rob Daniel in Australia.

4. Writing Challenge: You've jumped out of a plane in such
a hurry to get your parachute jump over and done with, you
forgot to strap your parachute on. Write down 20 creative
ways you could save your life!

5. Dave McCleery is available to run cartoon, caricature
and illustration workshops in UK schools. He is also
working at re-joining Rob for a 'Dan and Dave' Tour of
schools both in Australia, New Zeaaland and the UK. For
enquiries and bookings in 2007 please send an e-mail to:
robddaniel@yahoo.com

6. There is no '6.' You're busy, there's plenty to do,
we'll talk again next week!

Warm Regards Rob
