Yesterday I sent a new ms to my agent. It's the first novel-length project I've managed to write since trauma & loss shattered me almost 5 years ago, and honestly, to me it's the clearest evidence my brain and my heart really are healing. I'm verklempt. And I'm so grateful.

I made a library scene with LEGO. I especially loved the double-sided rotating dictionary stand. πŸ˜πŸ“š

Wish I could be in Vic for the 26th! I'll be there a few days before but can't stay that long. Hopefully I'll get another chance to see this.

It's Banned Book Week in the US, and here in Canada, we need to be standing up against censorship and defending the right to read. If you are a published Canadian author or illustrator, writing for kids or adults, please join Canadian Authors and Illustrators Against Book Bans.

Eagle Flight Ziptour Zip lining on Vancouver Island's largest zipline experience. Located at Mount Washington Alpine Resort in the Comox Valley.

So high and so fast! Not something I'd ever have guessed I'd do, LOL, but it was fun. This was at Mt Washington on Vancouver Island, very close to where I live.
