    9 Reasons Why Canadian Thanksgiving is Better than US Thanksgiving

    This may not be a popular opinion, but I’ve never been accused of being popular. Suck it cool kids’ table. But I’ll say it. Our Thanksgiving is better than yours and here’s why: 1. Canadian Thanksgiving is always a long weekend (the second Monday in October). You don’t have to take an extra day......

    Due Date (Fiction)

    My assignment was to create two pages of dialogue with no stage direction or commentary but included action, that set up a conflict. Here’s what I did. Can you guess what would be next? JIM: Was the garlic bread for dinner? RITA: Yeah. Sorry, can you bring it in? JIM: Sure. I’m having wine.......

    Pay It Forward at the Pump

    I enrolled in a creative writing course at the University of Toronto. We had daily writing prompts, and we were to start a ten-minute timer and go. As I have been busy trying to wrestle my manuscript from my brain to my keyboard (with the keyboard uncooperative) I thought maybe I’d dig some to......

    It's Me Again (Warning: Grammar Errors Ahead!)

    This post is full of grammar and syntax errors. I know. You know. Now, can we move on? I’ve been in writing school and I know you’ve missed me. I can tell. I’ll be back soon, I promise. I thought I’d rant for just a minute and give you a taste of my day.......

    It's Alive!

    I knew nothing of sourdough starter before self-isolation. Then it was all over social media. Not that I said it within earshot of my phone even, it was just always on my feed. Probably because even when I’m not saying ‘bread’ out loud, it is always on my mind and we know, by now,......

      Rejection is hard... Today I need to wallow in sel Rejection is hard... Today I need to wallow in self-pity. Most days I can take the rejection. I know J. K. Rowling did, Stephen King did, and every successful writer before me dealt with rejection. Today is not the day I am strong enough to face it. 
But tomorrow might be. 
So, for today, I will curse my need to write. Curse the words that flow without my control. Today I read, I cry, I drink tea, and eat junk food. Rejection is fuel, but it needs a spark to make it light. Tomorrow I light a match.
