Topic: Writing Outings
Sunday 8:11pm 24Sept06
I forgot that today is Word on the Street. It's around Queen's Park now, it used to be on Queen Street. I'm going to swing by to see if I can get any brochures on writing conferences and festivals and the like. Same thing I did last year. That was how I found out about the Bloody words writing conference and the Canscaip writing conference. I need to get info on the comic book conference. And I need to catch up with my buddy that has his own comic book series called, Black Bastard. I bought some of his comics two years ago and loved them so much, I went back last year to buy more.
I just spent the morning riffling through my stuff to find out where I put them so that I don't duplicate my purchases. Good fun politically incorrect. Just love them.
What I used to go looking for, in previous years, were French Harlequin romances. Something to read when I finally get into studying French. I was going to start with French children's books but then realized that the romances would be a more interesting read and cheaper. I have a stack of them now that I have yet to get into. Hmm, seems like a Christmas goal. Something to do during my Christmas break. Read my French romances, pull out my French English dictionary. Possibly try to translate a book or two into English. It's a thought.
So got my goal for Word on the Street. I've got to make sure I don't buy any books, just the Black Bastard comics. Pretend I have some book will power, it will be tested during the Festival of Author's in October as it is. sigh! Mind you, if I come across another Jasper Fforde who excites me, I'll probably buy his or her series.
Off to meet my breakfast buddy for 9am.
