It's good to know that there are people who understand what you're doing at home while much of Canada is stuck in rush-hour traffic. The Writers' Union protects your right to write.

Richard Scrimger
Before he was thirty, Richard Scrimger had learned to walk, ride a bike, do crossword puzzles, make scrambled eggs and play the trumpet.* Next thing he knew he had four children to look after, so he decided he’d better learn how to write fiction. His best-known books, which feature a wisecracking alien living in the narrator's nose, have won awards in Canada and the United States, and been translated into a dozen languages. His latest offering is called From Charlie's Point Of View, and is told partly by a blind teenager. Now Richard is working on Into The Ravine, a book in which three boys go downriver on a raft and end up in jail. He'd better finish it soon, because his two oldest kids are almost ready for university. Some people write for a living. Richard writes for his life.
*Wait. Now that I think of it, it wasn't the trumpet. It was the saxophone.
