As a new year's resolution, I promised myself I'd go back to doing silly, creative things just for the hell of it. Well, you can't get any sillier than this. Behold, writers' hands ... (Even sillier with the sound on.) #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersky #bcwriters #writerslife

Great to connect with some writer pals and see all the amazing work being produced in my hometown and across BC! Was inspiring to see so many young writers and artists still fiercely going after their art and putting it out there. Thanks Word Vancouver for a soul-filling day. #bcwriters

It's national read-a-book day in Canada, and I'm reading some Snow Crash before bed. Thinking of how, even in the first third of the book, so many things from this 1992 publication are seen today.
What are you reading today?
#readabookday2025 #readabookday #Canada #bcwriters
I'll be there! Really looking forward to meeting other writers on my home turf! Will you be there too? Let me know!
