Hey all!<\/p>\n
So, last week I spent five nights at a 20th floor AirBnB condo in Ottawa, ON. Why? Strictly to get cracking on the new book, get a lot of work done at once, and if possible, ride that momentum forward. I’m thrilled to say: achievement unlocked. I did four weeks’ worth of work in four days, and have managed to write every day since my return on Friday. It’s exciting, even if it’s scary as hell. I made some major changes and now, once again, I’m not 100% sure how my book ends! I guess I could plot it all out but…eh, we’ll find out when we get there. Yay, adventure!<\/p>\n
The guest on GET LIT this week is Thea Lim<\/span><\/a>. We talk about her first novel, also short-listed for the Scotiabank Giller Prize<\/span><\/a>, An Ocean of Minutes<\/span><\/a>. Incredible book and a great conversation! She was amazing. If you are a fan, she’ll be doing TWO events in Hamilton this weekend (April 11 -1 4) including one I’ll plug because it’s mine. If you’re in the Hamilton area, you should come to this incredible event – Saturday April 13 at 9 pm.<\/p>\n Confronting the Apocalypse<\/em> For more information and to purchase tickets, click here.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0Otherwise, enjoy this week’s show!<\/p>\n
