I'm convinced through talking to authors I know that writer-in-res programs are really valuable. I went to see Martine Leavitt who was w-i-r at Calgary Public Library to see whether she thought I should even bother writing fiction. I submitted the four stories I'd been getting rejections on for over a year and was getting really frustrated with the whole business. She was great -- very reassuring, told me she wanted to come to my book launch. I don't know if I really would have quit if I hadn't talked to her, but I might have.
