  • Keep ’em coming

    Wow, thanks for all your great questions! I’ll be making up the answers to them this weekend, so there’s still time to get yours in. Just drop a comment at the bottom of this post or the last one, and I’ll get you an answer. Also, I should mention, tomorrow between noon and two, I’ll…

  • Go ahead, ask me anything

    Well, my first event of this Atlantic Book Awards Week went off without a hitch. Great, funny, articulate writers, and a really attentive and interested crowd, in a fine venue. What more can you ask for? It reminded me anew that my favourite part of just about any event is the Q&A session. God, I…

Or, I make a set of assumptions about what’s likely happening. I decide…

  • Flexibility

    Went to yoga tonight, with the usual monkey mind and ring of pain around my shoulders. Left a little calmer and a little less cramped up. Met a woman there named…well, doesn’t matter what she’s named. Anyhow. There was a chair set up for her, to accommodate her yoga practise. Pretty much the first thing…

  • Among writers

    The fiercely fantastic Sue Goyette hosted a writers’ salon at her house this afternoon. It was awesome, in a word. So great to sit in a beautiful green room, with good snacks, a glass of port and writers and poets for company. We discussed the necessity of writing for happiness and the reality of working…

  • Busy busy

    I’ve added a bunch of stuff to the sidebar, including dates you can find me out and about, reading and such. Plus, lots of links to click if you’re into that kind of thing.
