It’s Wordfest time, Calgary’s literary festival. After being one of the authors last year, I’m looking forward to watching other writers sweat. I have tickets for three kid events, two workshops, and lunch planned with a Calgary writer-friend and a writer-friend in town for Wordfest, Monica Kulling. This lunch is a great example of why Facebook is good for writers. Monica and I are both kid writers and Facebook friends, but we’ve never met. So we’re delighted at the chance to share a meal. I’ll see her present, too, with Barbara Reid. I’ll also see Marie Louise Gay, and join a workshop with Cary Fagan, so it’s immersion in kid writers week for me. Plus teaching my class on writing for kids, and… you know.. writing. I’m not sure where that’s going to fit in. Just after the laundry, I think.
