That's because I've been so busy working on the "track changes" for What World is Left. (I'm starting to get used to the name of my fall book, which was re-christened this week by my editor in B.C.) Only time for a short entry today since I'm headed out for dinner with a friend. But I wanted to share something interesting that Manitoba writer Anita Daher wrote to me today. It was about how vulnerable we writers feel when we are waiting for feedback from our editors. (Anita is working with Sarah Harvey, too.) Here's what Anita had to say: "whenever we put on the skin of a character, we're putting on all of their faults and sensitivities as well." Nicely put, no? Anita's latest book, published by Orca, is a sports thriller called Two Foot Punch.
Okay, talk to you next week! Bon weekend!!
