For Christmas, my extra wonderful loving husband, signed us both up for a pottery and clay building course at the Burlington Art Centre. As a University of Toronto art and art history graduate, I've taken many an art course, and as a child growing up in Burlington, I've taken many a clay course at the BAC (though in my youth it was called the Cultural Centre). To date, however, I have yet to take an art course at the BAC with my loving husband. Should be extra fun.
My goal for this course is to create something so fabulous that I will keep it around for at least 15 years, breaking the records set by the heart-shaped smiley face jewlery box which I made in grade eight (and still use), and the clay elephant above our fireplace that I made in grade nine.
Later this week, on Wednesday to be exact, I'm going to my writers' group for the first time since before Christmas, so I've been busy reading all the stuff my colleagues have written over the break. Everyone seems to have had an explosion of creativity, even though most of them have real day jobs. Unfortunately, my own novel is dawdling along. I hate when writing is hard.
In other news Adam and I have finally taken down our Christmas tree. So the holidays are officially over.

I have been doing pottery since I was 6. I started again at 25 and am on my 7th year of doing it as an adult. I make vases to give to my friends and crazy bowls to put stuff in.
I have no idea how people write novels. I don;t have the attention span required to do that. Good luck with that.
z: You write them a little bit at a time. Trust me, noone has a shorter attention span than yours truly.
