So lovely! I’m envious.
This is where I am right now. 🥶
My grandmother was Irish. I wonder if she knew what she was in for when she emigrated. 🤗

Reading this right now.
Saw Kate Story perform a long time ago, 20+ years, at a Fringe festival show, and even back then her storytelling rocked.

I’m about 1/4 of the way through Urchin (nominated for Governor General’s award—congratulations!!!)

Ah, Saguenay fjord! How I love thee!
Where did the summer go?

Sometimes, I imagine what it would be like to live in a place like this . . .

Maleficent (aka Hobbes)

Also, why don’t I spend more time dressing my dog up? It’s one of the pure joys in my life.

Sometimes I wish I could just barf the creative work out. I thought writing was hard! Between mom-ing, working, and organizing for the family, I’m finding revising and editing the first draft of my middle-grade book is just a wee bit at a time. Hard to see the whole for those plot/big picture edits.

What do I spy with my little eye …
Looking for inspiration.

Just finished listening to this audiobook by Jaclyn Moriarty on Toronto Public Library’s app, Libby—I feel like a dragon sitting on sacks of gold every time I look at my list of books/audiobooks I’ve stacked up to read/listen to next.

I love this book!! So inventive, my heart swished near the end!

Setting up my social media accounts.
Thinking how comfy my dog looks. Maybe if I do all my work from this position…
