Painting


Yesterday was fun. Took a whole day to paint. Finished 3 paintings (small ones) and one is great. Another is close; the third needs work–but I know what to do to get it the way I wanted.

Teaching How To Write Horror


Very cool to be asked by the Alexandra Centre to present their one-day Horror workshop. A bit tricky to plan for, though–I had to plan the full day without knowing who my students were, or their needs. Predictably, though, they were a wide-ranging group. So, in one session I needed to meet the needs of a person there for fun who plays with writing, to a person who has written and published lots! Really kept me on my toes! However, the evaluations at the end were good, so I think the session was positive for most of them.
