I started rehearsing ‘Christmas Stories with R.A. Spratt’ today. Henry is a wonderful audience. He listens to all my stories and he never heckles. But I do I hope the actual audience in the theatre is better at staying awake than him.

My office today. Writing a podcast script while supervising four 11-year-olds. I’m actually getting a surprising amount done here.

Check out today's episode of the 'Words and Nerds' podcast. Dani Vee kindly let me do a takeover episode, so I interviewed my friend @tony_flowers99 We talked about publishing, visual literacy, author/illustrator tours, guitars and volkswagons.

My eyeball. The optometrist showed me so I could see the laser hole in it. (I had to have drainage holes cut into my eyes 5 years ago). It’s like my eyeball was in in a lightsaber battle with a teeny tiny Darth Vader… at least that’s the way I like to imagine it.

I will be launching FRIDAY BARNES 11, LAST CHANCE at the State Library of Victoria on January 28th! I'm so excited to finally do an event in Melbourne again. I booked the theatrette at the state library so we can have a big crowd. I'll read a whole chapter from the new book and telling stories about how I came up with all the ideas. Then you'll be able to buy your own copy (and get it signed by me) 5 days before it officially goes on sale in other bookshops. Your friends will be so jealous! Tickets for the show are on sale at fridaybarnes.eventbrite.com or you can just use the link in the bio.

Workshopping songs for my Christmas show …. Pretty good hey?
