Here it is, the feeling of a second birth. The first one is arbitrary. You don't have a choice. The second one is a whole other story. In my case, it is a novel, a city, a typewriter and a hat. I remember distinctively typing away " My first impression when I saw her was a sensation of height and density...". Thank you to Toronto publisher Mawenzi House, and my favourite translator Elaine Kennedy. You gave a writer, a new readership.

Toronto. The city I'm constantly driving to but never get to see. It's a little weird. 120 km each way, lately with a trunk full of groceries and whatever else is needed. We drop off, do whatever needs doing then turn around and drive back. That might sound a little cryptic but what isn't is that I need a change!! . . . . . . . . . . . #styleontheside #streetviews #tellyourstory #torontowriter #torontolifestyle #torontobloggers #toronto_insta #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #storytellers #storyoftheday #storiesoftheeveryday #writingprompts #writerswrite #writinginspiration #writingcommunity #writinglife #writingsociety #googlelocalguides #letsguide #livelifeonpurpose #liveforthestory #creativewriting #canadianbloggers #canadianwriter #cityoftoronto #canadianauthor #canlit #canada🍁 #natgeoca #natgeocanada (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFre6ogpzGi/?igshid=1hk0p77mit7yw

“Road trips are the equivalent of human wings. Ask me to go on one, anywhere. We’ll stop in every small town and learn the history and stories, feel the ground and capture the spirit. Then we’ll turn it into our own story that will live inside our history to carry with us, always. Because stories are more important than things.” – Victoria Erickson . . . . . . #styleontheside #torontowriter #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #storyoftheday #storiesuntold #storiestotell #storytellers #shewrites #visualstorytelling #visualwritingprompts #googlelocalguides #letsguide #livetotravel #liveforthestory #writingcommunity #writinginspiration #writerslife #writerofig #creativewriting #creativecapitalofcanada #canadianauthor #canlit #canadianbloggers #torontobloggers #roadtrip🚗 #roadtripusa https://www.instagram.com/p/B1viEyupo4F/?igshid=155bjhh9p0x7p

I love it when downtown streets are empty. That first thing in the morning quiet you experience during a holiday or a weekend morning. It's like they are relishing in the peaceful moment before the madness begins. . . . . . . . . #styleontheside #torontolifestyle #torontowriter #torontobloggers #toronto_insta #streetviews #storiesmatter #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #streetlifeworldwide #storyoftheday #storiestotell #shewrites #storytellers #visualstorytelling #visualstorytelling #visualwritingprompts #writersconnection #writingprompts #whatdoyousee #writinginspiration #womenauthors #writerlife #writes #writerslifeforme #googlelocalguides #letsguide #liveforthestory #canadianwriter (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzfrrwBnLo2/?igshid=rn72o3nhis31
