For 3 hours on 20 June 2021, we got together, creative-café-style, in cyberspace, and produced some inspired words and pictures. Here's a little roundup of what some of us worked on:
If you could not join in the fun this time round, not to worry. There will be another Scrawl Crawl. Also there are plans for lots more activities come autumn. So look out for those and sign up when they open for registration.
Do have some fun with the creative prompts posted above. Have a little play with them. Wishing you lots of imaginative productivity! And remember "Anything is POPsicle!". Sandra Yoong-Chia

Today is the day; SCBWI Switzerland's Virtual Scrawl Crawl 2021! In just a few hours, a number of us will be gathering online to spend some time being prolific with words and pictures. We will be posting creative prompts to our Twitter account (@SCBWISwiss) every 30 minutes from 2pm to 5 pm (Swiss Time) so remember to check that out and join in for some inventive fun. Here's a peek at what some of our writers and illustrators have been up to or are planning to work on:
We hope that the above few comments from our creatives have inspired you to be productive in your own children's book creation journey . Looking forward to seeing everyone in a few hours! Sandra Yoong-Chia Have you heard? In just 12 days, we will be gathering, virtually, for our annual Summer Scrawl Crawl! Scrawl Crawls are a time where we get together and spend some time being creative; writing, drawing, painting, creating stories. We also share our experiences with each other, share tips and advice, and encourage each other on our creative journeys. Usually, we go somewhere scenic but this year, due to the pandemic, we will be doing this virtually. If you are a Swiss SCBWI member, you would have received an email about it. Do remember to register to ensure that you receive further details. Don't worry if you can not join us on that day, you can still participate by letting us know what you have been working on the week before the Scrawl Crawl. Please also register to get further information on how you can be included in the Scrawl Crawl Kickoff blog post. I am so excited and look forward to seeing you on 20 June 2021, Sunday, at 2 to 5 pm! Sandra Yoong-Chia It was a beautiful sunny morning when a number of us met at Neuchâtel train station. We hopped on the train to go a little ways out of the city center. It certainly was lovely weather to take a walk through the vineyards where we got an amazing view of the sparkling lake and were absorbed in engaging conversations about life in Switzerland, work, travel, kids and of course, books. Then we headed down to the lake for a cold drink at a nice local café, where we heard about someone's latest picture book project and an impromptu crit happened. With some rumbles in the tummies, we looked for a picnic spot and settled down for lunch. After which, we looked over another wonderful picture book project. Properly inspired, we got to work on our individual work-in-progress.
i think it was a fantastic way to spend a few hours with fellow creatives. Thank you to everyone who came and made it an inspiriting time. sandra yoong-chia It was a fabulous sunny day on 16th of June, 2018 and some of our members met up for our annual Summer Scrawl Crawl. Here are a few photo impressions.
