Still kindling your call to write? You have permission to look lazy and pick up some fiction that inspires you. If you need something new, and you liked my collection This Cake Is for the Party, I’m pleased to offer you a free download of “The Missing Story,” a short piece that revisits some of the characters from the collection.
Sitting at the page, and getting interrupted by the feeling that you don’t have anything good to write? Try this short exercise for quieting your Inner Critic, or as I call them my Inner Creep. Twenty minutes later, they will hold far less power over you.
Wondering what I mean when I talk about magic and mystery? Listen to my episode on the Secret Library Podcast, “Where the Magic Comes From”. It will help you see the blank page in a new light.
I help writers centre their relationship with writing so they can do the creative work they long to do.
My collection, This Cake Is for the Party, was a finalist for the Scotiabank Giller Prize, shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Best First Book, and longlisted for the Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award.
My novel, Radiant Shimmering Light, was published in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the U.K., the U.S., and Poland. I’m thrilled to announce it has been optioned for television and will be a premium one-hour series.
