To everyone attending the Arthur Ellis Awards tonight in Ottawa! I will be there in spirit, if not in person.
The blog has been quite silent of late. I’m preparing course readings and outlines for the fall, finishing up the memoir/non-fiction and have FINALLY submitted my first novel for adults to my agent. Gulp. It was so much fun to write that I find I miss it.
I’ll be teaching a one-week intensive course on writing for children and young adults through UBC’s Writing Centre in July and this fall will be teaching writing for young adults through UBC optional residence MFA program in creative writing, as well as couple of courses through Vancouver Island University. I’m breathless at the thought of it! Good thing I’m well schooled in the art of writing in the early morning.
But for now, it’s just revisions and picking slugs out of the raised beds.
Now you see why I’m hardly blogging? Imagine daily updates like this! The horror. If you’d like to keep in touch, I’m a bit more active on facebook.
