Grateful

So this happened, and I am very grateful.

As the article in the Weyburn Review Saskatchewan Foundation for the Arts Award says, I received an award to be used toward completion of my novel and efforts to finding an agent/publisher.

As part of the journey, I plan to blog a little about Indonesia and the novel’s characters and themes.  As well, bear with me if I indulge in some musings about how the writing happens. There. I’ve said it out loud.  Now to just do it……..
