I just found your substack - it's great to have found our writing community, isn't it?

Sounds like you've made an amazing amount of writing progress in the last year - congratulations! It's great to get the acknowledgement, but it's also awesome that you have the feeling of finding the place. Congratulations, too, on starting to learn the Dharug language.

I think I signed up for your newsletter because I'm interested in writing, and didn't realise you were Australian. I run a monthly-ish Zoom meeting for writers on Substack who are in Australia, NZ and the Pacific (and anywhere else in the right time zone). I'll send you an invitation to the next meeting if you are interested. We just chat about writing for a bit, both our Substack projects and our non-Substack projects.

I really enjoyed your newsletter. How marvelous to learn the languages that are in your family. Thank you for the information about picture books and how doing a manuscript a month helped you to push ahead. I also write picture books so it's exciting to meet you.
