The Festival of Belonging

As I can now apparently do this from my phone (consider this post a frisky little experiment) I may just return to Blogger. Family illness got me out of the habit last year, but I have a little bit more time now, and exciting things are happening.

I worked the elections last week, attached photo shows just how exciting the day was. Following that I then spent much of the weekend at NCLA's Festival Of Belonging at which I was privileged enough to briefly meet Sapphire (author of Push, recently filmed under the name Precious) and to do a workshop with the disgustingly talented Helen Oyeyemi.

Of course this was likely me just passing the time until tomorrow, which is of course Game of Thrones night with Hunter and Chris (seen below getting in to the fantasy mood).

I have recently revamped the first novel I wrote, The Firebird & the Nightingale, for an open door month held by Strange Chemistry. Fingers crossed...
