I haven't done any editing this weekend. I've been too busy with my son's hockey team photo, my report cards, catching up on my marking and a bang-up Christmas party laid on by my husband's company. Tonight we're going to my brother's house for dinner. I feel very lucky to be busy in so many good ways. (Did I mention I've finished the report cards).
I haven't read any books to review lately, but I am looking forward to upcoming sessions of the Humber Writers' Circle talks. I'll try to post some insights from these sessions:

Lately there have been so many hits on this blog from outside North America. I love showing my cluster map to my son. He's learning where to find all sorts of places on the globe. I'm learning to value this blog. When I returned to school, I considered dropping it because work takes up plenty of time in the evenings and on weekends.
It seems logical to stop now. I've done what I set out to do: write something every day and learn to write reviews. The time it takes to blog is time I could be spending writing or editing fiction. I've decided to continue, for now, because there are people from all over the world reading my words. What more could I ask for?
Happy Reading!Labels: Writing
