Writing finished and posted before the last possible second of my deadline. I deserve a reward. And I have lots of options because I have a million easter treats here and two sick kids.

The dog is NOT afraid of:
Dogs three times her size, traffic, thunder, squirrels, cats, bicycles.

The dog is TERRIFIED of:
The ironing board.

On the one hand, I need to be writing.
On the other hand, my next tattoo isn't going to design itself.

Finally made it back to my watercolour class and then we took our 18yo for his first time voting. (The ballot collector shook his hand.)

So...do I just live in Montreal now? Maybe I should look for a house since I have all this time.

Anyone who refers to the 90s as anything other than ten years ago is not to be trusted. Don’t let them fool you with their β€œnew math,” we’re all still fresh out of school and just trying to figure it all out man

We had a amazing time chatting with Literary Agent Sam Hiyate, President and CEO of The Rights Factory today! Here are our top 3 takeaways from his answers to your questions: – Funny is always needed in the market – Community engagement matters, not just social subscriber numbers – Not hearing back from agents? Try newer agents looking to fill their client lists Still want to sign with an established agent? Demonstrating interest from other agents can bump your manuscript to the top of the pile Publisher’s Marketplace is a great resource to find agents who are actively making deals and see if they look like a good fit for you!

Pantone's 2025 colour of the year is.... brown, which, yeah, sounds about right | CBC News The results are in, and the highly anticipated Pantone colour of the year β€” seen by many as capturing the current cultural zeitgeist and setting the tone for the year ahead β€” is brown. Mocha Mousse, to be specific.

Can I share links on BlueSky?
www.cbc.ca/news/world/2...

Anyhow, this CBC headline/intro is spot on.

Personal recommendation: The Butcher's Daughter is great! I had the luck and privilege to read an ARC, and can say with confidence you will enjoy it and should preorder it.
