Blow Your Own Trumpet!

...or trombone!
Last year Nick said.... 

"We do have the Celebrations column on Words & Pictures, but what about a celebrations forum for lesser achievements – finishing a book say, or even a particularly difficult chapter?" 

So here it is…

 again! 




Writers and illustrators please tell us in the comments about anything that during the last month has made you go 'yippee!' or 'I'm really pleased with myself' or 'aahh I feel good about that'.

For this post, relaxing our self promotion guideline a little, we want you to shout about your achievements that may not yet have the external affirmation we all long for but nevertheless are achievements and should be commended.

So go on, Blow Your Own Trumpet and we'll be all smiles for you!


Over to you....

  1. I'll start:) I'm quite pleased with myself for The Chalkface Challenge. It gives me the warm fuzzies when I hear how people, young and less young, have enjoyed taking part. I'm so grateful to the children, their teachers, the authors and the the industry professionals who've all joined in and contributed. Very excited about posting the shadow results I've received so far tomorrow:)

  2. Nice work Jan :-) Me next! I started a non-profit Kickstarter project to give 1000 free copies of my picture book to UK schools, libraries & children 4 days ago and I have already reached 69% of my 30 day goal! I won't post a link as not sure if allowed but if anyone would like to help spread the word just search 'Greedy Fish' on the Kickstarter website! Soooo pleased and very excited! Thanks for this opportunity to share.

We love comments and really appreciate the time it takes to leave one.
Interesting and pithy reactions to a post are brilliant but we also LOVE it when people just say they've read and enjoyed.
We've made it easy to comment by losing the 'are you human?' test, which means we get a lot of spam. Fortunately, Blogger recognises these, so most, if not all, anonymous comments are deleted without reading.
