So it's another snowy day in Montreal. I got to the computer early this morning -- which means I still have to go for my run. The good thing about all this snow is it's inspiring me as I work on my story about Nunavik. My story is set in winter -- and believe me, there's a lot of snow up there this time of year.
You've probably heard some mum say how hard it was to leave herchild at kindergarten on the first day of school... well I just did something like that. I sent Sarah Harvey, the YA editor at Orca Book Publishers, a synopsis of my new project and three sample chapters. Hopefully the project will behave well! It might be several weeks before I hear back from Sarah -- but my plan is to keep writing. Though I only sent the first three chapters, truth is I'm a little past halfway through the first draft.
Okay, time to face the elements! We're supposed to get quite a bit of snow overnight. I'm thinking maybe I'll just jog to school tomorrow morning. I won't be the most elegantly-dressed teacher, but at least I won't have to shovel out my car or fight traffic! Enjoy the snow! Watch our for polar bears!! (Oops, there I go thinking about George River again!!)
