A real honest-to-goodness schedule. This is something I really haven’t had since my daughter was born eight years ago. Well, there were those “scheduled” feedings at 2 a.m., 4 a.m., 7 a.m. (and the less scheduled ones at 2:45 a.m., 6:30 a.m., 7:15 a.m., etc.), but that’s not quite the same thing.

As you know, I’ve been dreading/anticipating my son starting kindergarten in the fall. Lately, it’s occurred to me that if I’m not on full childcare duty in September, I might actually have time to work. Time to do some writing and some writerly-related things. Such as… drum roll…

August 9: presenting at the West Vancouver Library

September 30: reading at Word on the Street

October 19-21: presenting at the Surrey International Writers’ Conference (squee!)

October 24: presenting for Delta and Tsawwassen libraries

October 30: presenting for Port Coquitlam libraries

Now is that a schedule, or is that a schedule? I’m a real working girl. (Um, wait… that didn’t sound right…)
