Just a Moment to Catch Up

It's been awhile since I've posted. Last Saturday, two of my CWC classes came to an end. The Junior and the Senior novel teams finished - the former after 15 weeks, and the latter after 9 months. Both teams wrote novels and entered into contests - many of my students got a taste of how it feels to be published! Then on Monday, my final "real-world" CWC class came to a close. (I still have one on-line class that continues until the end of August.)

Now my summer goes into full-swing! First, I have a CWC Canada camp next week for four days. At it I will be teaching my unique perspective on dungeons. (I use the word "unique" only because it is far more polite - and probably less acurate than - "bizarre.")

A few days after that, I begin the first (of what will hopefully become an) annual Chocolate and Chat Western Canada Tour - sponsored in part by Comic Life - with kc dyer. We have 9 stops confirmed:

July 7th - Kamloops - Chapters @ 6-9pm

July 8th - Banff - Indigospirit - Cascade Plaza – 6-9pm

July 9th – Calgary - Monkey Shines – 1-4pm

Owl's Nest Books - 7-9pm

July 10th - RED DEER PUBLIC LIBRARY - DOWNTOWN BRANCH – 2-5pm

Cochrane - Nan Boothby Memorial Library - 7-9pm

July 11th - Calgary - Pages on Kensington - 7-9pm

July 12th - Salmon Arm - Spirit Quest Books - 3-5pm

July 13th - Kelowna - Chapters - 6-9pm

At each location we will have a draw for *free* copies of Comic Life and Comic Life Magiq, the very easy to use program that I used to make the Rancour video to the left (with iMovie).
