Stuff & Things.

okay I just wanted to have a casual catch-up today I have some stuff that I want to update you on and it's just been quite a busy time so I just wanted to sit down and just well I already said have a chat calmly have a chat and just be very chilled about everything so that's what I'm going to name today and this week I have been sorting out stuff for book tour which I'm going to mention more in laptop it's in front of me I think it's growing in my classes I will turn that brightness down there it go in sorting out book tool and so stuff for fragments playing book shop and also for the beginning of the world in the middle of the night which I'll talk about that I'll talk about the details of book for a minute but I've been having such fun as books down here I've been having such fun buying stuff for storytelling sessions to Franklin's flying bookshop I was going to show you everything that I bought but then I realize that actually spoils the book because I bought lots of stuff that is in the book but I'm going to show you a couple of things let me reach down ever so gracefully so lots of little toy back and and then what else can I show you or so many thing and it's very light there are shaped like stars and then I have this huge rub which I won't get out because it is massive huge rugs for the kids to sit on one we do storytelling sessions and lots of other props as well that I'm really excited about and I feel like a big kid probably how you should feel as a children's author so that is fine and so what Casey and I are going to do events we won't always be doing evoke together but mostly what I consume ants together is to do a storytelling session where we read out presents find book shop and then we'll have some drawing activities and storytelling stuff and then lasting the events as M 3 plus but the brings the welcome to come up come along and I will see if you are not a small child where you don't have a small child you are welcome to come along and get your book signed and if that is what you would like to do so I will talk more about it in a second but next week Katie and I are going to film some videos together when we talk about creating Franklin's flying book shop so if you have questions for us about illustrating and writing children's books can use them in the descriptions not in the description box in the comment section down below I always say in the leave them in the comment section down below and I will take those with me when I go to her house next week and we'll be filming talking about as I said the creation of books and I'm going to show you some of the sketches initial sketches that she did and we also are going to have questions for each other too and so yes that is going to be happening I have my list here what else oh yeah also this week I was in the lead filming behind the scenes of northern ballets little mermaid so that's the video that will go up in a few weeks time I'm also going to be doing a history of the little mermaid as part of my fairy tales with Jen series the last video that I uploaded was the history of the Pied Piper true story and so if you want to know more about that I think up here and also down below also this week's just looking at my list I went and had a photo shoot and it was so it wasn't a racking actually doing it but I was really scared beforehand and I've never done a photo shoot before I've had journalists come and take photos of me for interviews but never gone to a studio to have my photo taken so the times got in touch with me and said that they wanted to do a feature on booktubers and and could I be interviewed and then go in for this photo shoot and I did the photo shoot assignment over at cemeteries and sign up from books and world which is actually really lovely because obviously I know them they're my friends so it made it a much more relaxing experience Lucy from Lucy the reader was also in the article but she couldn't come answer photo shoot on the same day sadly but I will link all of their channels in the description box down below but here we did do some interview and it was an opinion piece on booktube which made me so nervous because well I just wasn't sure what kind of angle they were going to take I mean I thought it was going to be complementary services they've got in touch with us but you never know I mean my experience though said before with and traditional media hasn't always been great I mean the last interaction proper interaction which traditional media I had I think was with that TV show last year there 2004 loves TV show so an Iowan pin was a bit of trepidation but it was all fine and they also came out yesterday uncle again I will reach down ever so gracefully and hold it up and show you and yet this is the article here here we are sitting on a sofa and and you can read the article on The Times website as well which I will link in the description box down below you have to sign up but it is free to read so I was nervous about the photo issue not just because I didn't know what angle they're going to take but also because they said to come along and and could they do my hair and makeup and I just panic with anything like that and so I said forget you can do that but my hair is falling out so can I please do my own hair and you can put makeup on my face but I can't have any makeup on my eyes at all because of the syndrome that I have is that okay and obviously they were fine with that but I just felt a bit clumsy which is silly because I shouldn't have felt clumsy and speaking of which I am going to do a video talking about alopecia at some point soon and I suppose body confidence linking with that and not general body confidence but specifically about that and so if you have questions or things you would like me to discuss about that you can leave those in the comment section down below as well and so yes that was all very lovely and and yes if you would like to read the article I'll link it in the description box as I said and event okay so as I said I've been sorting out book talk for Frankenstein bookshop and for the beginning of the world in the middle of the night and and I will link all tour dates in the description box down below on my website details for each event aren't there yet but at least there are the bare bones of a lot of events you can see
