Inspirations
When I’m writing, I like to have my fantasy figurines around me to write. I enjoy writing fantasy and paranormal and to have my warrior, with her dragon sitting in front of me, it makes me feel creative.
It’s great being a writer and creating worlds, characters, plots and being in charge of how everything happens in your “world”.
Stories on the go
I’ve been writing a book in hopes of being included in the Hunters for Hire series for an e-book publisher. I have taken the advice I obtained in my writing magazines and set it aside before I start my big story editing.
In the meantime, I have taken up writing towards two other stories I started in the past. It’s a good break and it’s a refresher when you can concentrate on other characters you created. I love creating and, being involved in the arts opens up a mind frame that allows you to see the bigger picture instead of living in a rigid box that some people seem to live in.
I love writing and if you do too, then don’t give it up.
Bookstores
With the popularity of e-books, bookstores are getting a hit. The stop-motion video, The Joy of Books, shows us the love for books again.

The Word on the Street
Attending The Word on the Street for the first time at Queen’s Park on Saturday, September 25 was amazing! I was a volunteer at the Wellesley Street Information Booth, wearing my bright red volunteer shirt and I was nervous at first, when we had so many people asking us questions, but I calmed down afterwards.
There were questions on which authors were doing readings and where he or she would be located, questions on the locations of publishers and event booths and also simple questions like where were the ATM machines and food trucks.
We also sold Word on the Street merchandise, which was awesome. I purchased many buttons on reading and books as well as several books myself.
The Harlequin booth and Scholastic book booths were there, as well as the booth for Dummies and the Ontario Science Centre. There were new authors selling their first books and many events for kids and people of all ages.
If you missed out this year, I strongly suggest you take in the festival next year!
You can get all the information you need at http://www.thewordonthestreet.ca/wots/.
See you next year.
