Today I got three compliments! Not about writing, but about general work-preparedness and teaching, which is still pretty good, especially after feeling so down about myself lately. And Geoff sent me a picture of capybaras, which are the animal I am most likely to become (rodent, low to the ground, enjoys sitting in pools, etc.).
So take that intrusive thoughts and anxiety. Maybe I’m not so lousy after all.
I’m on a list!

So I was still a professional author in 2021. Hooray!

Tomorrow (July 18), at 1pm Atlantic, I will be doing a free reading and Q&A session with Live Bait’s New Works Festival.
Hope to e-see you there!
Enid info:
1. I will be at the Metro Moncton Book Festival on June 8, 2019 at the Moncton Lions’ Club.
2. Enid is on the shortlist for New Brunswick Book Awards Mrs Dunster’s Award for Fiction. So maybe I will win? I have to wait until May 25 to find out.
Come see me at Coles Amherst (NS) today from 12:30 to 2:30. I’ll be there signing books, as will other local authors.
As always, smiles are free, so come see me!
I need to write a bunch of reviews of other people’s books as well. Tomorrow. Maybe, and always, tomorrow.
I will be at the Dartmouth Book Exchange on October 13 (tomorrow!) from one to four to talk to you all about my middle-grade or adult-who-likes-to-read-middle-grade novel Enid Strange.
Stop by! Buy a book (mine or another one)! Have fun at a bookstore on a Saturday afternoon!
