That's some to-do list, I must say. Do you have Hermione Granger's time-turner, by any chance? And how is the YA fantasy novel going? Is it set in the alt-Bearbrass world?

I applied for a State Library of Victoria grant for Bearbrass world. Haven't started writing that.
On Sunday I started writing Monkpunk. Set in an alternate Japan.
Trying to finish it in a month, is maybe a tad too ambitious.

Perhaps a little bit? :) But I promise I am very impressed by the ambition. How many words will Monk Punk be?

Not sure yet. Have story structure worked out, but not all of the scenes yet. I'm aiming for around 70,000 words, which I think is a good length for a YA book.
