Tomorrow We Go National

Don’t forget- it’s our fancy one-month anniversary tomorrow morning.

I’m waking up at 6am my time to get the prompt to you on time, so I expect to see a million responses on Friday!

 

In other news, it’s so beautiful in Banff! Off to climb Tunnel Mountain

To Tour or Not to Tour?

All gung-ho today, my first at the Banff Center, I signed up to go on a day-trip to the Columbia Icefield.

As we gave up the search for a beer, a British pianist I had had dinner with asked what the Icefield was.

“It’s a glacier,” I told him.

“Oh, well, that’s a day spent not being creative.” he replied.

I felt a little embarrassed. He was right. I am going to have to be very diligent about balancing enjoying being in this place of environmental splendour with actually getting down to work.  I came here to write, not to see a bunch of ice…Still, I haven’t decided whether or not to take part in the trip. I’ll play it by ear.

Cynthia and I are certainly not working hard enough! (But it's only the first night).

Hyper for Banff

I’m so excited! I leave for the Banff Center this evening.

I’m going to be spending two weeks in the mountains participating in their Wired Writing Studio.

Don’t worry, though, we will still have our weekly prompts. In fact, I’m hoping to involve some of my fellow participants, our instructors, and maybe even some big names who’ll be in town for Wordfest!

Wish me focus and productivity- I’ll need it in a place with so many social opportunities!
