How do I know this? Because I'm now part of the League of Comic Geeks. That is, I've posted my collection there. Like many comic book collectors, I have boxes and boxes and shelves and shelves of comics, but even I forget sometimes what I have and, more importantly, what I'm hunting for. So, over the holidays, I took the time to enter every issue in my collection. You can check it out here. And if you're part of the LCG, let me know! I'd love to see your collection. 

After a long hiatus, I'm hitting the road next week to do writing workshops at several schools across Saskatchewan, my home province. I'm super excited to meet a whole new batch of kids and to spend some time creating with them.

Then in early February, I'm heading to Edmonton to spend an entire week at one school, teaching creative writing to students there. My students will include a mixture of recent immigrant and refugee children, so I'm looking forward to yet another creative challenge as I tailor my workshops to meet their needs. 

Plus, being on the road lets me indulge one of my other passions--comic books! I'm already making a list of shops I plan to visit along the way--and the back issues I'm hunting for!
