Last night I was one of the writers who did short readings of our work at an early summer party for the Saskatoon Writers' Coop (an event for members and a limited number of guests). The theme was travel. My story, which I wrote specifically for the event, is titled "Scary Bus Stories". I find that, like many writers, deadlines really help encourage me to produce new work. My story was very well received. I also won the prize for "Most Exotic Costume" because I wore a distinctive Burmese shirt (given to me in Burma by a member of the Karen ethnic minority) and brought along an Indonesian sarong to show. We enjoyed watermelon and other warm weather snacks and drinks.
