This is so great. Thanks for your vivid, thoughtful, honest, fun writing. And congratulations— ! Love the thought that drawing and love brought you to reading. I have not heard of that mountain.
Wish I was there walking along the Bow with you, Nikki ⛰️
I too envy visual artists for being able to listen to podcasts and audiobooks. My publisher at the Royal BC Museum worked alongside the graphic designers, and they always used to listen to CBC (but in French, so they didn’t get swept away by the words). I applaud your shift into art! And I know you’ll also keep writing.
Thanks so much - it feels like a pretty amazing new chapter! I'm beyond thrilled :) And yes - it would be lovely to walk along the Bow with you - do you think you'll get out this way at some point? I would dig beneath the piles of papers and stray books to reveal my pullout couch-let in my office, if you wanted to come and stay...

Thanks Sara! I see Ha Ling every morning when I step outside... I have photographed her many, many times... I should do a whole post in her honour.

Congratulations on being accepted to grad school!

I will be out that way eventually, yes! I have family in Alberta. I would be honoured to sleep among Nikki Tate’s books and papers 🤘🏼📝 📚 🤘🏼
