…I sat with that strangeness for a long while. I am so very thankful for the great care and compassion of the team at Room 🩵 My brother, I love you #amwriting #cnf #bcwriters #canadianwriters
He was mourning the loss of yet another friend… I wrote in a frenzy, filled with madness, despair and even hope. This is a sliver of the dark ache of that time, less of their beautiful light✨ Just weeks after my own brother’s death, I received the news about this story…
I have been sitting with this beautiful issue of @RoomMagazine for a few days, wondering, how does one share such a story, such news? I wrote most of ‘our brothers started dying’ on a bright June morning almost exactly a year ago. My brother was still alive…

Last June I let myself bleed feelings about my brother and some of his friends. I called the piece I wrote, our brothers started dying. My brother was alive then. #cnf #bcwriters roommagazine.com/creative-non-f…
The reality of book launch day, even for known writers in the big city. Couldn’t we all fill a collection with funny-sad stories about book-signings and readings and cricket-sounding launch days? #canlit #canadianwriters #bcwriters
I wrote about Indigo, including an extremely embarrassing personal anecdote. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
@alixhawley Great piece @alixhawley. Oh, but the budgies! And the summers to come. Glad you are all well.
📻 Heard this on the radio today and it made me think of writing/not writing…but I can’t decide which is writing and which is thinking/readying for/stalling writing #amwriting #amnotwriting #writerslife m.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ojarj…

“Eleanor Wachtel is one of the very finest interviewers of authors I’ve come across anywhere in the world.” @marshalederman was making risotto, I was making bad lasagne, still in disbelief the @cbcbooks show was ending theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
Making French toast, yelling at kids to go outside, listening to a familiar voice on Writers and Company— UK writer Sarah Bakewell. Thirteen years after I was a student of hers in London, I used one of Sarah’s writer’s block hacks ‘slips of paper’ this very morning. @cbcbooks
