It's been a year since I put out my post about applying to the CFC Actors' Conservatory, and now my stats are spiking because applications are open again. Despite the singular like and complete lack of comments, I believe it to be my most popular post. In fact, I've met a few people at recent … Continue reading The Impact of the Canadian Film Centre
10 Years of Precarious Writer: A Retrospective.
Holy smokes. I've been informed (against my will, I might add) that I've had this blog for ten years now. It's amazing to think back to where I was when I began. 2014 December 2014, Winchester, England. I was studying Creative Writing, hoping to someday work in publishing because that was the only thing I … Continue reading 10 Years of Precarious Writer: A Retrospective.
Touring Southern Alberta
Earlier this month, I returned to my home province of Alberta for my cousin's wedding and made it a whole 2-week trip. The last time I visited was for a funeral and the time before that was to get Skipper and make my move to Toronto official, so this was kind of my first time … Continue reading Touring Southern Alberta
I Moved To Toronto
It's one thing to be invited to the Canadian Film Centre (CFC), it's another thing to actually go. This is Part 2! Read the first post here: I Got Into An Acting Conservatory. When I was accepted into CFC, I had an apartment, a full-time job, and a chronically anxious chihuahua. Going to Toronto meant … Continue reading I Moved To Toronto
An April Snowstorm
9am. No snow. Skipper goes out for her first pee of the day with no jacket. Success. I'm proud of us both. Noon. Maybe an inch wherever it isn't just melting. Skipper asks me to go out (a win), I notice (another win), and she pees outside while wearing a thin coat. There's enough snow … Continue reading An April Snowstorm
Oh, Canada
For those of you who are unaware, today is Canada Day. Some of my best memories have been on this date, including camping with family, my first time going up the Calgary Tower as a kid, getting to choose a new book at the bookstore, seeing fireworks with my first boyfriend, exploring celebrations downtown with … Continue reading Oh, Canada
Lake Minnewanka
As I worked on the pitch for my web series, I realized that even though I'd put my novel writing on hold, I didn't want to give up the story entirely. It wasn't going to be as easy to pick my novel back up as it was to put down. A story has peaks and … Continue reading Lake Minnewanka
A Day in Kananaskis
I've gotta say, filming vlogs every day for my month in Vietnam last summer was one of the best things I could have done in order to learn vlogging and figure out my new camera. On Saturday my dad and I went to Kananaskis for a little day trip. My camera skills have improved greatly … Continue reading A Day in Kananaskis
Living
I had a bad day last week. The worst in a while, with a bunch of different not-fun things coming together all in that one day. And I discovered something amazing. Despite my best efforts and my repeated mentions of not wanting to get tied down to Calgary, in my so-called "darkest hour", I found … Continue reading Living
Montreal Day 1: Bagels and Murals
OK so I've got pictures on my camera of my recent adventures BUT I forgot the little cord that gets pictures from my camera to my laptop. So here are the pictures I took on my phone instead. MONTREAL, I AM IN YOU! This wasn't today and I'm not posting the days in order because … Continue reading Montreal Day 1: Bagels and Murals
