So, almost 7:30 on the eve of Canada Day, our version of the US 4th of July. Just finished working and my big plans for this holiday evening include: watching a home renovation show or two, reading a few hundred pages of The Girl Who Played With Fire, and drinking a couple of glasses of some lovely Chardonay. Hopefully tomorrow we'll get a little sun and I can go for a bike ride to offset the calorie build-up from a full day of sitting on my butt at the computer working on a new novel, Sad to say that I didn't even get very far. 7 hours of work netted me about 700 words...sometimes it just doesn't come.
Did have a really good conversation with my former editor, Ann Featherstone, who, after many years, has become a very good friend. We talked about books we've read, books we should be reading, and books we'll send to each other. Of course, the frustrations of writing and of editing came up. We both concluded that neither of us could leave the business even if we wanted to...it's too wrapped up with who we are.
If you ever get a chance to work with the wonderful and very talented editor, Ann Featherstone, you are one lucky writer/illustrator. She's awesome.
