Burn baby burn
So, the blog posts have been a bit sparse here lately. Truth be told, I’m feeling a tad burnt out and therefore a little uninspired. Feel free to fill in the gaps with stories of your own by submitting them to East Coast Guest Posts. Or leave a comment below to let me know what [...]
Halifax Magazine interview: Why pay more?
One of the standard complaints about living on the East Coast is that comparatively speaking, we don’t make the same amount of money that peers in other bigger cities do. Alison DeLory interviewed a number of professionals around the city of Halifax, including me, to get our opinions on the matter. In every city you [...]
BookCamp Toronto #bcto10
BookCamp Toronto. The reason why BookCamp Halifax came to be. Yes, I’m writing yet another entry about this unconference. My blog, my rules. I promise I’ll keep it short though. The great thing about the unconference model is that you get to hear from a wide range of people interested in a certain topic, not [...]
Jane Austen, dachshunds & the meaning of life
Or something like that. If you travel over to the CBC Book Club today you’ll notice a pretty fabulous contest that’s inspired by the mash-up trend mixing public domain books with the likes of zombies, vampires, androids, etc. Here’s an example that I created for the Book Club with a hat tip to Costas Halavrezos, Ben [...]
Sociable in Toronto
I’ve been living out of a hotel in Toronto for the better part of a week now on a business trip. Among the things I miss are home-cooked meals, my own bed, sleep, Cokebaby and Tofu dog. That said, this trip has allowed me to work with my colleagues face-to-face (which is under-valued). Seriously, go [...]
For your eyes only: Burn after reading
Alright, alright, so technically there is no “burn after reading” on this thing we know as the interwebs. But here’s the deal. A couple of weeks ago, I asked you to take a poll to help me choose a pen name for me as a YA writer. I even opened it up to an “other” section where [...]
A rose by any other nom (de plume)
As Canada Reads 2010 ramps up, I’m finding myself immersed fully in the online world of books. Since the debates start next week and I’ll be deep into coding, live chats and social media, I’m afraid I can only offer up one post here per week. Guest posts will resume after (if you’re interested in being a [...]
East Coast By Choice on CBC Maritime Noon
At 12:15 p.m. Atlantic, tune to CBC Maritime Noon‘s call-in show where I’ll be joining in on a conversation about, you guessed it, East Coast By Choice (Note: you can listen to the live audio streaming online at CBC Radio). Have a story to share about living here? UPDATE: You can listen the full show [...]
On writing
As I wrote in an earlier post, I’ll be spending the remainder of this year completing a novel that I was trying to plug away at in 2009. It turns out, I’m actually a lot further along in my first draft than I had thought and have reached the over 50,000 word mark. (Note to [...]
Kimberley Mosher: East Coast by choice
[It's a new year and a new format for the blog. I'll be posting here once a week and getting folks who are East Coast By Choice to share this space, like this next lovely guest who tells a familiar tale of moving away for reasons beyond one's control. If you're interested in being a [...]
