Under construction

This blog has an identity crisis. It's arrived to a waiting place, and is not sure now what to do. It used to be called "Writing on Baffin Island", "Writing in Nova Scotia", and "Writing with Children". Now it seemingly wants to be called something else.

The last 5 days have been surreal--how is it possible that in Iqaluit the temperature has been around 25C? 27C with Humidex?

I've been spending my days hiking with the kids. Today's tidal pool finds: a caribou jaw with teeth (it gave my husband and I quite a jolt--the way it was positioned in the sand it looked surprisingly human), a dead starfish, a dead jellyfish, stainless steel salt shaker, a live snail, and a red plastic bucket.

I started working on my "new" novel--I have about 15000 words done, so it is not entirely new. But I'm trying to be more organised about its structure.

I'm also playing with the new blog header. I like the direction, but I need to rethink the balance.

  1. I like it! Wow..it's warmer there than it is here in SW Ontario. Do you know we have not hit 30C in July and average for July is 27..crazy! It's low 20's every day which isn't terrible but completely unseasonal for us.

    Simply Writing is good.
