sit/stand desks are great! I need one of them! I spend way too much time sitting in an office chair. #SCBWICanadaWest

A4 - I'm tucked into the corner of my small apartment. Often with my son playing video games right behind my setup...close enough that the mic picks up everything he says. I don't do enough for my health! #SCBWICanadaWest

I don't know, maybe something about how he produces all the books he does. He has so many different properties out!

Ken Rolston (he/him) @kenrolston.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

we have a critique group meeting in August in Trout Lake Park in Vancouver if you are close enough to join in???

oooh...I'd love to have a conversation with Dav Pilkey. #SCBWICanadaWest

A2 - There so many possible answers to this question. I don't even know where to start. #SCBWICanadaWest

Hi from Vancouver. I'm currently working on educational cartoons and a graphic novel. Day job is dad, night job is working on a children's entertainment company. Superhero power I wish I had was controlling time. :D

It does... it's usually the second part to the in- person meetup, so it doesn't get the billing.

I missed most of the coffee chats because my brother-in-law flew in from overseas last night, so any breaks I took, I had to step away from the computer! I wish I have been able to join those coffee chats!

Ken Rolston (he/him) @kenrolston.bsky.social · 04/08/2024

I would do this again! It was fun. Not quite as smooth as using Tweetdeck to manage the Twitter chats - but I'll get used to it!

I love my Wacom One tablet. It connects to my laptop and It's a good size to draw on.

Ken Rolston (he/him) @kenrolston.bsky.social · 04/08/2024

awesome. I will get you on our email list. The next writer critique unofficially should be August 24. I have yet to confirm the room can be booked.

A5 - Anywhere I can find time. Generally I'm either on the couch or at my computer desk. But sometimes I pull out my phone and sketch using the stylus because it's all I have on me.

Ken Rolston (he/him) @kenrolston.bsky.social · 04/08/2024

Occasionally. It seems to work pretty well!

Ken Rolston (he/him) @kenrolston.bsky.social · 04/08/2024

We can zoom you into our in-person writer critiques if you're interested?

Ken Rolston (he/him) @kenrolston.bsky.social · 04/08/2024

A4 - I think that's what I'm doing now!

Ken Rolston (he/him) @kenrolston.bsky.social · 04/08/2024

will we get to see them at one of our meetups? :D

The reason I like Braden's book so much is that it exactly the kind of book I would have read as a kid. Full of great illustrations with lots of action - a lot like "invasion of the brain sharpeners" one of my childhood favourites.

A3 - lol, see my answer for the last question :D

Ken Rolston (he/him) @kenrolston.bsky.social · 04/08/2024

A2 - I also have the third GN in the Lightfall series waiting for me to read!

Ken Rolston (he/him) @kenrolston.bsky.social · 04/08/2024

My latest read was Braden Hallett's first book Teddy vs. the Fuzzy Doom. His second book is sitting beside me right now waiting for me!

Hi Cynthia! I see you have a book coming out soon! What are currently focusing on? Marketing? or not quite there yet?

Ken Rolston (he/him) @kenrolston.bsky.social · 04/08/2024

SCBWI Canada West has two online zoom meetups everymonth - hopefully we can meet there too!

Ken Rolston (he/him) @kenrolston.bsky.social · 04/08/2024

That's awesome! what breakout session was your favourite today?

100

Ken Rolston (he/him) @kenrolston.bsky.social · 04/08/2024

I was focusing on the graphic novel sessions today...I'm going to have tweak my pitch package and get querying again. As soon as the replays are available there's quite a few sessions I want to check out and take notes!

Ken Rolston (he/him) @kenrolston.bsky.social · 04/08/2024

Thanks! It has been such a great week for him. His confidence in the water has just skyrocketed. His Uncle is visiting from overseas right now, and the first thing he asks is "Can we take Uncle Glen swimming?"

Ken Rolston (he/him) @kenrolston.bsky.social · 04/08/2024

Yes! I'm so glad we can watch the recordings there are a few breakout sessions that look informative! #scbwisummerconference2024

How long are there for? I've heard one you get a taste for it, you can never leave.

Ken Rolston (he/him) @kenrolston.bsky.social · 18/10/2023

Dammit... if you had said Winnipeg as the middle... I would have countered with - I'm in Winnipeg until Saturday. Enjoy NB! The east coast is on my list of places to visit!
