Hero Wanted!

release date: Aug 01, 2024
Hero Wanted!
Grace is woken in the middle of the night to the sound of an armoured horse in her back garden. The next thing she knows, a dying Grace doppelganger bursts through her bedroom door and insists that she is the fifteenth and final Grace, and it is her destiny to win the Worthy War. Grace''s quest takes her to the county of Brokenshire, where she must work with her trusty steed (who has a sharp tongue and a habit of reminding Grace of all the ghastly ends her predecessors have met!) to battle magical creatures and save the world. A vegan T. rex, a distinguished dodo, bomber geese and the fearsome trigger wolf are amongst the cast of memorable characters Grace meets on her adventure. ***** ''Pratchett meets Dr Who, in a tale worthy of the legends of Camelot! This stonkingly ridonkulous adventure had me in stitches from start to finish, but the real power lies in its message of empathy and understanding. An absolute corker!'' Chrissie Sains, author of An Alien in the Jam Factory series ''An adventure EVERYONE needs to embark on! THESE ARE REAL HEROES!'' Rikin Parekh, illustrator of Iguana Boy and The Worst Class in the World series

The Artist's 10,000-hour Practice Log & Journal

release date: May 30, 2019
The Artist's 10,000-hour Practice Log & Journal
Many experts agree that becoming a "master" in any particular field or pursuit requires one to put in a minimum of 10,000 hours of deliberate practice in that area. It''s certainly true that it takes more than only time (e.g. proper technique; correct decisions about what specifically to be working on; etc.), but logging that much focused time will most definitely be beneficial to anyone striving to increase their abilities and realize their dreams.If you''re truly dead serious about that art career you want to build, or developing control of those watercolor techniques, isn''t it time to step up your game, start tracking those hours, and do the work?This practice log/journal - created especially for artists - is the perfect tool for that purpose. You''ll be guided along page-by-page, prompted to enter details about each practice session, including the date, time and duration; your mood and/or energy level going into the session; goals for that specific practice stretch; and what went well/poorly. There will also be room to write additional notes about that particular session, or perhaps thoughts for the next one.Used daily, this log will help you record approximately three months'' worth of practices. Near the back of the book, you''ll find graphs that you can use to track your progress toward that 10,000-hour milestone.Throughout these pages, you''ll also find occasional journaling pages, which will cue you to reflect and write your thoughts on a variety of matters related to the hard work you''re undergoing.Space will be reserved for you to list long-term goals, for your reference while working through this log, and for transferring into future logs that you move into. You should refer to this list as you plan goals and exercises for your individual practice sessions.After completely filling this log, enter your date range and total hour information in the spots designated for each on the front/back covers, and do the accompanying math to find your total accumulated hours. As you work through additional logs, this will give you a quick reference of what you''ve accomplished and how the progress you''re making toward that magical 10,000 hours!
