For more than two years, this flip chart has been the focus of my life as I wrote my book. Now that I have a publisher, it’s time to tear off the used pages and start the next project. A blank page. Both the most exciting and most terrifying prospect for an author! #Writer

It’s been a busy week working on changes to my book as we approach a final (hopefully clean and accurate) manuscript. And now there’s a cover to go with it! Thanks to the design team at Dundurn Press for the great artwork. Can’t wait to see it in print!

It’s great when your job and your favourite pastime come together facebook.com/share/p/xJ71wn…
