This and That
This past weekend, I took a trip across the Brooklyn Bridge and back with some friends. The weather was sunny, breezy and warm. The buildings were jagged and tall against the clear sky, creating the perfect skyline. And all I could think was how happy I am that I’m here in NYC. Next month, it will be four years since I made the big move from Tennessee, and I’ve never looked back. It was scary at first. Scary and exciting, but I’m so glad I did it. Because over time, I’ve only fallen even more in love with the city, and I hope four years from now, I’m still here.
I’ve also been making some great progress on my WIP. Right now I’m sitting at 21k, and my goal is to knock out 2-3k more today. Things are really flowing well with this draft, so I’m going to try keeping up the pace while that’s still the case. The Dreaded Middle will be here in no time.

BONE DRY: First Draft
21,045 / 70,000 Words (30.00%)
This week is BEA here in New York, and I’m a little disappointed I’m not going this year. But it’s a little too pricey for me right now. The good news is there are lots of other events going on this week in conjunction with BEA that are completely free. Today is the Teen Author Carnival at the NYPL, tomorrow is Libba Bray’s TIGER BEAT band at Books of Wonder, and Saturday is a Melissa Marr and Suzanne Collins event at Books of Wonder. Can’t wait for all of these!
Also, just a quick reminder that today is the last day to enter the giveaway for a copy of THE DEMON’S LEXICON!

I’m so jealous. That’s one thing about living in the middle of nowhere - no neat writerly events to go to.
Hey, congratulations on 4 years, and for making the jump to follow your dream. If I hadn’t made the jump and left Michigan 8 years ago, I don’t know if I’d be anywhere near my current life. Scary thought.
And way to go on the words! Good job. =o)
