My artsy, adventure-loving 10-year-old self would have been all over this book. My adult self is proud to share it with the new crop of 10-year-old mes. #MGlit #middlegrade #kidlit Oddities at the Outset: The Five Quarters, Book One a.co/d/1c17WQP #Amazon via @amazon

I got my Dad @themollyjohnson album "It's a Snow Globe World" for Christmas. He's still listening to it on the regular. Also - there's this one image of her in the insert that makes her look like the Queen of Winter. It should be an art print.

Hey Hey #PipelineWriters! Today I finished a story that could be 8000 words max; came in at 7999. Probably worth a mug, amiright? Anyway, hope you're all kicking butt, staying safe, and having successes!

Hey Hey #pipelinewriters! I'm 7479 words into a (hopefully) 8000 words story and I don't know how to get to the ending. Huzzah for editing! How go your projects?

Sometimes I throw away a piece of single-use plastic and think "This is the first scene in a Pixar short."

Set actual foot inside @SPLibrary for the first time in about a year and just managed not to cry with the overwhelming beauty of the moment. #itsthelittlethings

Today on @cbcradioq, songwriter @Lyrikris10 talked about the shame we collect as we move through life and how powerful it is to just for one second to let go of that shame and stand exactly as you are. I felt it for a moment & it was glorious. She's wise. We should all listen.

This isn't the biggest takeaway from today at all, but Joe Biden has the same cadence as the late, great Stuart McLean.

I finished my YA novel on November 26. I have now accepted this fact. If anyone wants a swashbuckling coming-of-age first book of a series in their life or to fulfill their #mswl, I've got one. #CanadianWriter #writerslife

I've been writing a bunch of short stories and my computer just doesn't get the intricacies of snow clothes. #CanadianWriterProblems

Chunky Chocolate Gingernut Cookies, recipe compliments of @Joannechocolat's newsletter. Highly recommended. They go great with tea and a "Gentlemen and Players" chaser.

CBC Ideas is doing a show on #Westerns and how they shaped American political ideology. Does anyone write Westerns? Even if you don't, it's worth a listen. #pipelinewriters

I feel disappointed by Tom Power a lot. But never so much so as when he said in the interview with Alanis Morissette that musicals only have happy songs so how would her angry songs fit in the genre. Have I got a playlist for you, b'y!

Now seems as good a time as any, since @SchittsCreek is on top of the world, to ask. All the stars on David's clothes - awesome motif BTW - deeper meaning? Maybe it's simply that @danjlevy is wearing his star quality as well as his heart on his sleeve. #Emmys #CanadianTV

Writing a duel scene in a novel. One character has a sabre, but trained with a cutlass. The other character has mad skillz with his rapier. In the back of my mind is how problematic it'd be to choreograph. One's time at @RapierWitCombat never really leaves one, does it?

Hey #pipelinewriters! I've had the film version of an earworm this week & thought if anyone might know, they'll be here. 80s/90s movie about ghost pirates & a boy who lives w/ with grandpa until he gets put in foster care w/ people who make celery wine. Anyone know the title?
