Procrastination!! | Dorene Meyer

I am generally a pretty self-motivated person with loads of initiative ? except for a few things ? like blogs and websites and such. I don?t know why ? I?m not really a technophobe. It?s just something I don?t go ?whoopee? about quite yet.

So, here I am a couple of days before leaving my desk top and Internet connection for the summer and?yeah? it?s time.

It?s been a great spring, starting with our Northern Writers book launch at McNally Robinson in Winnipeg on March 26th, which got a mention in the Winnipeg Free Press.

In March, May and June, we had 3?more local Northern Writers Reading Series events there in Norway House, featuring books by Brenda Fontaine and Dana Coates??and David Williamson and yours truly: M. D. Meyer. We also had readings by various authors from our newest anthology: Northern Writers volume 3. These include Benjamin Paul who will be releasing a book of poetry this summer.

Benjamin is planning to sell his book at York Boat Days, which is the first week of August here in Norway House.?We are hoping to do a launch of Benjamin?s book next fall ? possibly October.

On June 13th, I received two awards from the Canadian Christian Writing Awards for my contribution to the anthology: A Second Cup of Hot Apple Cider,??and on June 14-16, I was faculty at the national writers? conference: Write Canada. ?

In a couple of days, I will be participating in the much anticipated graduation ceremony for the Educational Assistant students that I have been teaching for the past two years. That will be a joyous celebration! There are many other graduates who will also be participating from Norway House receiving their?Bachelor of Education, Early Childhood Education, and other certicates, diplomas and degrees.

And then it?s off to visit family and friends. I?ll see two of my five grandkids on July 7th, which I am VERY much looking forward to. Around the middle of the summer, we?re going to head down to Wyoming again ? I love it there! So peaceful up in the mountains ? I hope to get a bunch of writing done ? and final edits on Rachel?s Children, which I hope to launch in October.

Even though I?m not the greatest at keeping up with blog posts, I do try to reply to all the emails at dorene@dorenemeyer.com?so please drop me a line sometime!?

Have a great summer!!

Dorene
