I’ve finally closed the window of my writing studio as the snow begins to fall. I’ve opened the window to my creative world, launching seven (7!) new pages of refreshed and original material. My 
Blog and the About pages continue to be available free to anyone, but I’m hoping to concentrate on my writing using Patreon subscriptions to pay bills, first for my content and illustrations (often by Murray Toews, seen below) my telecommunications bill, subscriptions (including to the Winnipeg Free Press) and then another revenue stream to support Gimli grocers and local businesses. I’ve given up booze and cigarettes because I like to cook and eat well, even cut flowers and good music are more important.
