A Novel is Born

Updated: Feb 1, 2024

It was the fall of 2015. I had been taking courses at Athabasca University, working towards finishing a Bachelor of Arts degree that I had started way back in 1981 at the University of Saskatchewan. The gap between when I started and when I went back to finishing was almost 20 years. But here I was, three classes away from finishing!

That fall, in a fiction-writing course, I wrote the first five chapters of a novel. I already had an idea percolating in my head, so starting the novel wasn't that difficult. I liked my prof. So I asked her for course advice for my last two classes. She offered to oversee my course if I took two independent studies classes and finished my novel. Could I do that?

I had already fallen in love with my characters, though my protagonist was not that likeable. And yet, I wanted to see him change--to find the hope he was seeking as the novel progressed. And so, I said yes to my prof and away we went. And, as they say, the rest is history, because it resulted in Rewriting Adam.

These pages answer many common travel questions without unnecessary information. I liked how Local taxi Wimbledon highlights convenient transport choices, while Local taxi Balham explains local services in a simple and clear way. Great resource for residents and visitors looking for trusted transportation.
