Wow - really? Week 41? Where did the year go?
I'm still slowly settling into our new home and feeling pretty good about the progress. I am going house-hunting tomorrow (I know, I know - another move in our future but hopefully the last for awhile), but today is a writing day!
Tuesday, I went back to an old ms - one that made it to acquisitions but sadly did not pass to a sale. I have always loved this story, these characters. It's been over three years since I last looked at it and over 4 years since I worked on it. Surely I'm a better writer/reviser now than I was then? I re-read it in full and while I love the story, I can see now that the characters need deepening, the emotions need more depth. While I wait for feedback from my writing group on my WIP, I plan to spend some time with this story to see if I can revise and revive it.
Yesterday I indulged in fun time by taking the train to NYC to meet a very good friend, Daphne Bendis-Grab who has an incredible YA thriller coming out later this year. Look for Girl In The Wall later this year, and look for a give-away and interview on my reading blog DEBtastic Reads! in a little over a month! I had a blast with Daphne as always and she once again introduced me to fantastic chocolate and cookies. Chocolate at Jaques Torres and the most amazing cookies at Levaine Bakery Seriously - BEST COOKIES EVER! They are fat like little cookie cakes, and taste like the most delightful combination of cookie and cupcake - moist, chewy, full of flavor. I'm hooked! Plus, Daphne and I bought matching t-shirts and we love them. We forgot to take a pic of them together though, so that's for next time!
Okay, time to get to work! How are you all doing?
