I attended just a few sessions of the 2006 Saskatchewan Festival of Words. I couldn't get in to see Margaret Atwood so I choose a session with a CBC announcer and a childrens writer.
At first I thought, "oh no, not what I wanted. I don't really want to know anything more about Canada's Native peoples" (Tom Roberts from CBC in northern Sask).
And on day 2, expecting to listen to childrens writers I found myself saying, "but I'm not really in to poetry" (Dan Tysdale and Pamela Porter).
But I came away both days with inspiration to write about my years of nursing experience in some new ways. Amazing where you might find inspiration. Looking past the more obvious and listening and watching more the people whom the words are coming from. Their inspirations, their lives, their experiences.
