…you’ll have one week where nothing’s going on and then one where things are totally crazy?<\/p>\n
Guess which week this is for me. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
However, I still intend to be keeping my blogging up, just forgive me any errant typos!<\/p>\n
Today I got to do two awesome author appearances, one with a grade 12 Writers Craft course at Humberside C.I. and the other with a grade 8 class visiting the Bloor Gladstone Library (in all its renovated glory — seriously, I want to move to Bloor and Dufferin just so that can be “my” library). I really enjoy getting to share my experiences and what I’ve learned about the publishing industry with teens, many of whom are aspiring writers themselves. Hopefully my talks give them a little hope that they could be the one up there talking in another ten years!<\/p>\n
I got asked a lot of interesting questions, such as:<\/p>\n
Why did you decide to write this book and not some other one?<\/i> (Pretty much because this was the one that most wanted to get written.)<\/p>\n
Who is the girl on the cover?<\/i> (Wish I could tell you, but I’ve got not idea!)<\/p>\n
Do you read manga?<\/i> (Yes, occasionally, but I’m more into anime.)<\/p>\n
Are you rich?<\/i> (Sadly, no. \ud83d\ude09 I have a day job along with my writing work in order to get the bills all paid.)<\/p>\n
Looking forward to talking with some more teens tomorrow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
