Writing Diary: July 30, 2004
Not much to report from yesterday. I spent part of the day preparing and then delivering my Saskatchewan Book Awards entries (I entered The Iran-Iraq War, Ayatollah Khomeini and J.R.R. Tolkien: Master of Imaginary Worlds in the children’s literature category, and also entered the Tolkien bio in the non-fiction category; I might have entered more categories if I’d had more copies of the books on hand, but I didn’t prepare far enough in advance), then I worked on Orson Scott Card’s bio. And that was it!
Now it’s a long weekend, so I don’t know if I’ll get any additional writing done over the next few days or not.
