Welcome!

As you can see, I’ve been posting things here for a little while.

My main motivation for starting this blog is to give myself a deadline to write on a regular basis. I intend to post something (anything!) at least twice a week.

Will anyone read along? Who knows. This space for writing is – like everything else this year – an experiment.

A few things I plan to include in this space:

• Updates about my sabbatical
• Writing about my current and past travels (coming soon!)
• “Research notes” about interesting tidbits I find while researching Alberta’s history and my own family’s history for a writing project I am planning to work on later this year
• New poems and other short pieces of creative writing
• Thoughts about creativity and the writing process
• Notes about books I’m reading

If you’re reading this, please say hi in the comments. All kind and thoughtful comments are welcome.
