Kristin Butcher... has novel ideas

My trip to Victoria was a great success. I was only gone 3 1/2 days, but I packed as much into that time as I could. My school visits went really well. All the classes were wonderful, and it was a lot of fun speaking to such attentive audiences. Everyone asked terrific questions too.

Tomorrow I take a break from work on my latest book and head off to Victoria for another round of school visits. I'm looking forward to it -- I just wish I were a bit more organized. Lately my mind seems to be ever in Egypt, and with the editorial deadline just three weeks away, I'm feeling a tad pushed. Never mind. It will all work out. I'll hit the deadline even if it means pulling a few all-nighters.
