Hey. Yeah I know it’s bee over a week since I wrote. It happens…so sue me. ๐
I’m still waiting for the day they invent a way to hook a line to your head to the monitor and you can just think out your thoughts so that it goes faster to write something. Maybe I’m just lazy. ๐
I went to my first NYC RWA meeting today. It was pretty cool. I had a little help getting out of the bed and my butt in gear to go which I appreciated very much. I got there a little late but in enough time not to be too disruptive to the meeting. They let me stay even though I wasn’t a member. Actually I think they let guests come all the time but I was worried they wouldn’t let me stay cause I didn’t have my RWA number on me. I was a little surprised they didn’t do any critiquing but maybe they do that in other meetings. I really want a crit partner or group to help urge me to write more. They had an editor from silhouette come in and talk about being a “book doctor”. Interesting. To long right now to go into it and explain. I plan on going back and I did make at least one new contact.
My projects are going. I’m trying to prevent Caged from turning into a book and think maybe it can be expanded in the future but I pretty much have the layout of the story in mind. I just have to finish it. Hearing about all the girls in the NYC chapter who’ve been published or have an agent was inspiring.
After the meeting I had fun going to Macy’s (which have their flower displays up now) and shopping at MAC. God I love that store. Got my make-up done and bought some stuff. It was fun to be in NYC window shopping on my own. Not that I didn’t want to be with other people but it definitely made me feel all grown up to be in the city doing my own plans instead of just being with someone else while they did theirs. I hope I get to do more of that. ๐
Tat is over tonight. There is suppose to be a Nor-easter (did I spell that right?) tomorrow so she came up early to avoid driving in it. She’s been staying over the last few weeks and will continue to do so while she has a job up in this area. I love having her here and it reminds me why I enjoyed us living together but the cramped rooms can get a little annoying sometimes. It’s hard to get some privacy now and then, especially when I’m a prude about taking NF calls with them around. LOL
Daddy and I have been going to the gym alot for the last two weeks. I’m LOVING it. I might not always want to work out but I love getting out of the house and going to the gym. I like being someone who goes to the gym and works out. Karate is a pain and I’m not going into it but suffice it to say the reasons for going have changed. That’s all I’m going to say about that.
Next Saturday I’m going to get my new tattoo on my left wrist. (see last post) I can’t wait and I think it will be great motivation. Perhaps when I hit my fitness goals or sell a book I will talk to Daddy about getting “dedication” on my right wrist. ๐
Speaking of dedication, a friend of mine is doing really well. He got some great news about his living situation and things are improving for him like I knew they would if he kept working on it. Cryptic but without giving to much away I wanted to mention how proud of the directions he’s going in I am.
Ok that’s all for now…I know…quite a lot. There’s more but I’m tired and I want to go crawl into bed with the girl until Daddy gets home. ๐ (na na-na na na!)
