Women in Leadership

Well, I've registered for another course at TWU. It's a communications course Women, Communication and Leadership. Read about the course and syllabus at this link:

The instructor is from the UK and I'm excited - I had to get permission to take the course as I didn't have one of the prereq's, however, she was more than happy to have me in the class. Let's just hope I can keep up with it. It is an intensive course over one week in August, I'll have to do some reading and writing before hand to keep up with it. It will be very interesting.

I'm also off to Guelph in June to attend Write! Canada - a Christian Writer's Conference put on by the Word Guild (www.thewordguild.com). I'm really looking forward to this conference. I've never been before - I want to learn more about writing and the industry. It will be a great opportunity to network.

What I'd really like to do is get my book going. I'm finding it hard to get the time to get into it - I really have to enter a different place in my head! But it's time to get down to business. I've got the first five or six chapters done for a children's book - Seekers of the Truth - not sure if will end up being one, two or three stories, we'll see what path it takes.

Nathan and I are going to work on some stories this summer together. It will be our project for our holildays - kind of a bonding thing. He's so good with words and I really want to encourage him with it.

Evan loves to draw and colour - so we're going to do some crafts with him this year and get his creative juices going that way - not that it takes much effort to do so!

Lots of fun things in store this summer. I can't wait!
