i just spent a blissful extended weekend at the annual Franschhoek Literary Festival.
i think our panel went well. there were lots of laughs, lots of interesting questions, and i didn’t die on stage, so all in all a success.
they spoke about their lives, their books, and some of the more unexpected aspects of being a famous author.
Niq: ‘Don’t write to impress, write to express.’
now i’m even more sorry to have missed it. I think i’ll go out and drown my sorrows in red wine and pray that i survive till next year.
Glad you had a blast!
Sounds like an awesome weekend, fun and intellectually stimulating all at the same time. What a winner. Might need to make a turn next year …. with 2 toddlers in tow… hmmmmm….
sounds very lekker:) *envy* would love to come next year. that said, it’s been confirmed that we will be attending the CT Book Fair. see you there for a whiskey? or two, or three..
the toddlers will love it peatree, it’s a year away, they’ll both be reading and writing their own books by then anyway!
Alwill, can’t wait to meet you in real life and for reals at the CTBF. definitely. so glad you’re coming. man i laughed at your ‘humour for librarians’ the other day. cracked me up.
