Visit from Stacey Gregg

Karaka was visited by author Stacey Gregg today.  She shared with us her writing process and told us about her new book "The Diamond Horse."

She shared three great tips with us:

1. Do your research.  Stacey travels all around the world to find out about the history of different places so she can include them in her books.

2. You must plan.  If you don't plan your work, you might not know where it's going, and so your story might go nowhere!

3. Get somebody else to have a look at your work, help you edit and give you suggestions.  Stacey said she sometimes rewrites her books ten times or more until she's happy with them!

She awarded Rosettes to Lola M, Lola F, Elliott and Immanuel for their awesome contributions during her talk!
