Are you like me and you prefer to have some sound

Are you like me and you prefer to have some sound or music going while you’re working? But you don’t want anything too distracting like a tv show or podcast?
•
•
That’s why I love going to coffee shops to work - the bustle is just the right amount of noise.
•
•
But if you’re staying home, I’ve made up a list on the blog of things to listen to when you need to focus. Link in bio! (It’s under the Post Reboot tab)

Swipe to time travel! I love comparing these two pictures: 2018 vs 2015.

In terms of writing my books, I’m converting into a planner, slowly but surely.
•
•
The more I plot things ahead of time, the less I’m staring at my computer staring into space. When it’s writing time, I’m actually writing and it feels so good!

The first book club I joined, we read one book before disbanding.
•
•
I know we all read the book. And it was so good. Something about a pair of criminals doing a task for the Russian government during the Second World War...
•
•
But while we talked about the book for a couple minutes at our meeting, it was mostly a wine and catch up night. And it was the best...

Are you in any book clubs? Is it book club or wine club? #seeheathersmile

My close relationships are a huge part of my wellness. I cherish them so much. It means so much to feel like you belong to a little community, to know that you have someone’s back and they’ve got yours, to share each other’s triumphs and trials. And they’re always the people I choose to share my adventures with!
•
•
All the love for these people. #seeheathersmile

I’m so glad I started journaling in the morning.

I’m so glad I started journaling in the morning. It started as a way for me to just settle my body and mind into a quieter space, but it’s grown into mindset shifting and reflecting on the previous day. Way better than journaling at night!! #seeheathersmile

There are so many things that won’t be the same

There are so many things that won’t be the same for a long time because of the pandemic - like lurking in coffee shops for hours on end. That’s one of my favourite past-times, especially as an author (yes, I’m a cliche).

Throwing it back to when summer was carefree!
•
•
I miss not having to worry about how many people I’ve seen in a two week span, or ensuring I don’t stand too close to strangers (although really I shouldn’t stand too close to strangers just to be polite!).
•
•
This is a friendly reminder that even though we can go outside now, the pandemic is still on and we should continue to be mindful of our actions and how they affect the health and safety of ourselves and those around us.

Stay safe everybody! #seeheathersmile

Of all the pre-work that comes before actually writing a manuscript, I love character creation.

It makes sense, since it’s the interacting with different people that makes me love to write and read so much.

Canada:
•Pro: Beautiful, beautiful landscapes of incredible variety.
•Con: A history filled with discrimination and subjugation.
•Pro: Stands for diversity and inclusivity.
•Con: Doesn’t always show up that way, even in 2020.
•Pro: Attempts at reconciliation.
•Cons: Miscommunication, mistakes, and missteps during the reconciliation process.
•Pro: Internationally known for peace keeping and welcoming immigrants and refugees.
•Con: Trouble taking care of our own impoverished and marginalized populations.
•Pro: Millions of amazing people in this country contributing to the arts, sports, entertainment, entrepreneurial scenes.
•Con: Corporations and CEOs still receiving priority.
•Pro: HEALTHCARE
•Con: Much of our population still lacking access to care and even clean water.
•Pro: Capable of change for the better.

Canada is not a simple country and Canada Day is not a simple day. But I don’t think we should give up on celebrating the goodness that that comes with being Canadian.

To me, Canada Day is both about recognizing that Canada’s past and present is incredibly imperfect (even shameful), and that Canada also has the potential to continue growing and changing into a better nation for its entire population.

I’m proud to be Canadian, and at the same time, I’m ready for our nation to do better. Happy Canada Day!

My writing process these days involves sitting on

My writing process these days involves sitting on the floor in front of our balcony window/door.
•
•
One day when I was writing, something made me look up from my laptop and a bird was flying straight at the window at face level!
•
•
Instincts kicked in and I covered my face (super unnecessary with a big window between me and the bird). The bird hit the window (not very hard, thank goodness) and fluttered down to the ground. He hung out for a bit and flew away. Gave me quite a scare!
•
•
Why am I writing this? Oh yeah, my writing process finds me on the floor in front of the window these days - risky business apparently!
