Excited to announce I will be part of the inaugural *St. Lawrence Writers Festival* from September 5th to 7th at the Arts Hub in Brockville, Ontario!! I’ll be on the Kids Are All Write panel on Sun Sept 7. Would be great to see you there!

It’s not often that an author has TWO BOOK BIRTHDAYS on the same day — but thanks to @tantoraudio both my novels have been released as audiobooks. Today I’m celebrating the release of MESSENGER 93! Narrated by me!

I’m so excited to share the audiobook version of my novel THE DARKHOUSE is now released wherever you buy #audiobooks !! “Mystery, science, and dreams of a better life collide in this must-listen young adult novel by Barbara Radecki.”

Getting new professional photos for the first time in ... years!! I quit acting but need a new author/screenwriter shot. Had so much fun with brilliant Toronto-based photographer Tim Leyes and makeup artist Taylor Johnstone.

Hey hi, if I’m going to social, I’d like to grow writing community and compassionate insights into our chaotic world. 👋🏻

Wishing you all the wishes ✨💫

Full Moon Eve. I haven’t tried to learn how to take a proper photo of the moon. Every time there’s a clear night and a beautiful moon, I rush to try and capture it on my iPhone. And every time it turns out like this. Anyway, I love the #moon and don’t even mind these hazy, lazy shots.

This is how I describe what it’s like to keep a work-in-progress clear in my mind over the months (years) it takes to complete a draft of a story. Over and over, every time I sit to write then have to leave the page. #wip #writing

Need to run something from my WIP by my husband who’s just getting off a full day of working on zoom. Me: Can I pitch you something? Him: You can pitch. But I might not catch. 🤣

Is #amwriting a thing here? Because I #amwriting but man do I have trouble keeping my focus when I’m writing a “bridge scene” (a lower stakes scene I need to write to get the story from action point to action point). Searching for ways to hold my own attention on the page. Hmmm

I spent my morning reading the Jonathan Franzen interview in Vulture/New York. I’m a glutton for writer process pieces and this is appetizer, main, and dessert. The years of direction and redirection. The hard choices. The commitment to readers. Writers supporting and challenging each other. Yum.

I finished recording the #audiobooks for my novels THE DARKHOUSE and MESSENGER 93 for Tantor Audio. I was nervous ahead and didn’t know if I could do it. Recording 2 books over 4 hour sessions, 2-3 sessions a week is a lot. I now have a bunch of tips for anyone narrating their books! 🧵👇🏻

I understand that AI is making us dumber, but are we making AI dumber? The nonsensical edit suggestions I’m getting from Word. Like, it wants “a short-order cook” (which btw it wanted hyphenated) to be “a short-order cooks”. Ummmm

Watching The Penguin and wondering how much of the show comes from the original writers. Like, was that whole backstory about the mother in there before?

Hey, I like the early Twitter vibe over here, but I’m exhausted just thinking about gathering community all over again. How y’all newbies doing it?

When I did a search for ‘Canadian writers’, only the same question came up. Thanks Sharon for putting it out there. If I’m going to be here, I’m hoping to connect with all sorts of writers but have no idea which of my rl friends are on here lol

Hi Blue! X escapee. Currently active on Insta and Threads but people keep directing me here. I’m a 🇨🇦 published author and screenwriter. Looking for conversations around: writing, screenwriting, reading, and craft (6 years teaching Mapping Your Story at University of Toronto SCS). What’s up?
