Because I’m incredibly lucky to be a mother of two wonderful healthy children…<\/p>\n

Because giving sick kids a story to read and spending the next few months raising money for them is definitely something I can do…<\/p>\n

Because my writers’ group wanted to do the same…<\/p>\n

The Northern Beaches Writers’ Group is attempting the 2014 Write-a-Book-in-a-Day challenge!!<\/h3>\n

The challenge, otherwise known as WABIAD, is a national challenge designed to raise money for the children\u2019s hospitals in each state. Based in Manly, our focus is The Kids\u2019 Cancer Project at Westmead Children\u2019s Hospital, a project and hospital close to many of our hearts. Would you like to help us help them? You can sponsor our attempt no matter where in the world you are. Simply go to the official Write-a-Book-in-a-Day website<\/a>, then follow: Sponsor a Team, Find a Team<\/strong>, click on the blue dot that represents New South Wales<\/strong> on Australia\u2019s East Coast, then you\u2019ll find us listed alphabetically. Select our team ‘Northern Beaches Writers\u2019 Group<\/strong>‘ and decide how much you want to give.<\/p>\n

\"Me<\/a>

Me with our winning trophies from last year.<\/p><\/div>\n

Last year, we actually did quite well in the challenge \u2013 raising the Most Sponsorship nationally, and winning Best Book and Best Illustrations (you can read more about our book Scribbles in the Dark<\/em> here<\/a>). Woo hoo!<\/p>\n

Even so, please wish us luck \u2013 we\u2019re going to need it. We\u2019ll know nothing about the book we have to write in advance. We get given a random setting, 2 humans, 1 non-human, 1 issue and 5 random words on the day itself, and the book has to be written, illustrated, printed and bound before 8pm that night.<\/p>\n

Wow \u2013 will we do it??<\/p>\n
