On Wednesday morning an Irish author called Oisin McGann came in to give us a workshop. It was really enjoyable because he was really funny and kept our attention for the hour.
He was telling us that we should always keep a notebook with us incase we are randomly inspired by an idea or something we see.
He read us a sample of his books which are fantasy and one of his main characters were called Amina just like our class!
He was also talking about how nobody speaks "perfect" english and if we were to go abroad other people wouldnt understand our phrases because although we know what they mean they dont actually make any sense.
Afterwards he drew us a sketch of one of his characters because he is also an illustrator and it was amazing.. He did it so quickly and it looked so profesional.
I really enjoyed it :)
