In the big Apple…

August 6, 2008

I took the train to the big city today, and got lots of good Twilight reading done on the way. I’m so glad I didn’t start reading those books when they first came out, or I would have been straight geeking for years, waiting and waiting. I would have taken to reading fan-fic. So far, Breaking Dawn is living up to expectations. I won’t give away any plot points.

Tomorrow, I’ll be at the Backspace Writers Conference, soaking up the knowledge like…someone help me with the Beasties quote. Something about Galileo. I’m working in a cafe, as my hotel has no internet (it seemed like such a minor inconvenience on paper- NOT!) In a little bit, I’ll be going over to the Algonquin Hotel to meet some conference folks and meet a few faces. My friend Sarah will be here tomorrow, and I’ll be ducking out of the conference for meetings periodically. Might as well make the most of a trip, right?

I sent a query out on HARO yesterday for sources for th ebook, and oh my goodness there are so many fun and talented people in the world. Of coure I knew that, but how fun to have them fill my inbox. It’s been a truly amazing experience. Happy Birthday, Peter Shankman, you HARO guru!

All right, rock and roll people, I’d better do some actual work before my battery runs out- seems like there’s plenty of WIFI in New York, but very few power outlets- I hope Panera doesn’t catch on to that.

All the best, xoxo, L
