Back in Edmonton
I'm back from the Red Deer Young Writers Conference. I was thrilled to be a part of the 20th anniversary year. Georgia Graham painted a picture to commemorate the 20 years. Some of the presenters had been with the conference from the beginning. I had a fabulous time and I hope the students walked away with some happy memories and good advice about writing and illustrating.
Now on to a school residency at Mayfield. I'm going to have to pull double duty as I owe the Journal an article and the University of Alberta another article. Plus, I have to find time to revised The Forbidden Phoenix. I'm going to try to pace myself this week and divide my time between all the projects so that I don't get overwhelmed by the mountain of work that I have to do.
