WELCOME This site will be a way for me to share the adventure I'm undertaking. It marks a shift away from being a "hobby" writer to a "serious" author. It means I'm committing myself to making it, to getting published, to getting my work out there. This website is the first step and I haven't a clue what's in store. What an exciting journey. I'm ready. Join me.

Okay, so it's been awhile

Yes, I return, abashed, humble, feet dragging, gaze downturned. I haven't posted in, well, a long time. I've had 4 people whom I haven't been in touch with for ages contact me through this website in the past few weeks (even an old flame!) and so, I've been embarrassed into finally jotting a quick note.

Little Old Men in Hats Are A Danger

This fact is true. I dare all of you to begin to pay attention to who are the worst drivers out there. Little old men in hats. I kid you not! Followed closely by little old men without hats, followed by little old ladies who can barely see over the dash. Next in the list is, of course, young bucks. They are dangerous but in a different way. They are far more likely to plow you over in their certainty that they own the road. Little old men in hats are just simply oblivious to the fact that there's any one else on the road at all.

The Reviews Come In

So, I have been paid for my writing. It's true. I have the photocopied cheque taped to my wall so that it's the first thing I see when I wake up.

Writer's Weekend

Well, I must hand it to Eileen and Ryan -- they braved the Winnipeg cold to come and spend the weekend huddled over our computers and respective manuscripts to lend support to each other on our journey toward publishing. That's dedication.

And the year draws to a close

And so it does. It has been a momentous year, a year of intense change and challenges, a year of startling growth and wonderful opportunities, an exhausting, exhilirating year. I look back and wonder at how far I've come, how I made it, what other amazing things wait just around the corner. In spite of the trouble and turmoil, a piece of me has returned that is invaluable. With that piece renewed, I know I can go ahead with arms wide open, ready for whatever comes. I managed to deal with plumbing under the cottage, for heaven's sake! If I can do that, I'm ready for the rest the world can throw at me! I mean, really! Who would have thought?!
