Just Plain Dumb
I just picked up a new pair of glasses which are meant only for reading and working on my computer. When I put them on, the computer screen was still too hard to read. I pulled the monitor closer and everyone was clearer. I then realized I could have done this without spending all my money on a new pair of glasses. Sometimes, I'm just plain dumb.
Anyway, this was a pretty fun day. I finished out the school year with my final school visit at Belmont School. The kids were awesome. There were great listeners. I also worked with a group of grade five students. I was the retirement gift for an elementary teacher's last year. The kids were eager to share their ideas. They were all very bright.
And on the writing front, I just started to go through The Forbidden Phoenix. I got as far as the first page... that's far enough for the first day. Seriously, I'm going to devote the entire day to the play tomorrow. How many times have I said that?
On a happy publishing note, the Edmonton Journal is running my article on public speaking this Friday, in advance of the Writers Guild of Alberta Awards.
