AMY LAURENS is an Australian author of fantasy fiction for all ages. Her story Bones Of The Sea, about creepy carnivorous mist and bone curses, won the 2021 Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Novella. Amy has also written the award-winning portal-fantasy Sanctuary series about Edge, a 13-year-old girl forced to move to a small country town because of witness protection (the first book is Where Shadows Rise), the humorous fantasy Kaditeos series, following newly graduated Evil Overlord Mercury as she attempts to acquire a castle, the young adult series Storm Foxes, about love and magic and family in small town Australia, and a whole host of non-fiction, both for writers AND for people who don’t live with constant voices in their heads. Other interesting details? Let’s see. Amy lives with her husband and two kids in suburban Canberra. She used to be a high-school English teacher, and she was once chewed on by a lion. (The two are unrelated. It was her right thumb.) Amy loves chocolate but her body despises it; she has a vegetable garden that mostly thrives on neglect; and owns enough books to be considered a library. Of course. Oh, and she also makes rather fancy cakes in her spare time. She’s on all the usual social media channels as @ByAmyLaurens, but you’ve got the best chance of actually getting a response on Instagram or the contact form on her website. <3

How To Plan A Pinterest-Worthy Party Without Dying (Or Losing Your Chill) - Amy Laurens
Introduction
It can feel like there’s a lot of pressure sometimes to host ‘perfect’ events, what with the advent of Pinterest and Instagram and the like. My family is Big on Events, and we can Pinterest party like it’s... uh, 2018.
I’ve been involved in plenty of events-coordination that took weeks and even months of planning, and my sisters, mother and I have collaborative Pinterest boards spawning out our ears.
But let’s face it: My life is packed. I don’t have TIME to hold Pinterest events. And honestly? I tried one for my birthday a while ago when I turned 30 and... eh.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, it was amazing. It’s just that the sheer amount of work coordinating on the day meant I was pretty stuffed by the time the party actually started.
Also, many of the events
I’m doing these days are for kids, and you know what? A three-year-old doesn’t care if you spent six hours on their party or one or twelve. They just love that it’s a party.
But! It is entirely possible to get a party worthy of Pinterest and Instagram WITHOUT dying, losing your chill, and making you want to stab your eyeballs out by the time the party arrives. All it takes is a little bit of planning...
Part One: The Prep
Honestly, 90% of success in anything is the preparation you put in. The secret to hosting a pinterest-worthy party isn’t really in what you do on the day; it’s in what you plan beforehand.
But party planning is really, really easy to lose hours of your time in. You dive into Pinterest, and before you know it half the day is gone. That’s not an efficient way of planning a party, and it’s not a recipe for keeping your chill when you have a zillion other competing demands on your time.
So let’s spend some time laying the groundwork: before you even get to planning the specifics, there’s some important preparation to do.
Step 1: Focus
The first really important step is to figure out which bit of partying you
