Those of you who are able to get back to work properly today, this blog post is for you.

Three out of four of my kids are back at school and the fall is opening up with writing, reading, events, workshops, a eBook discount on Polly Diamond this month with Chronicle Books, and Word on the Street Saskatoon (September 17th in the Broadway District) with me and amazing local authors– Theressa Slind, Tenille Campbell, Anthony Bidulka, Jerry Haigh, Kristine Scarrow (who I get to be on a panel with), and many others! I’m excited to read new books, next on my list is by ernie louttit, and I can’t wait. I’m also looking forward to reconnecting with all the charities we have now on One Small Step (46 and counting), and sharing their needs and programs with our city.

I know the summer juggle is a mixture of the lovely and the stressful; silky summer days and the drip, drip, drip of pressure to manage work and those fleeting yet full-on hours with family. For any of you who’ve been trying to get creative though it all, I hope that autumn is full of inspiration, illumination and imagination. Now, time for me to get on to the page… #writing #inspiration #work #creative
