My Whirlwind Week

October 6, 2009 Filed Under: Ladies, life, my oldest friends, Neil is awesome, STAY

Last Tuesday, I turned in my copyedits. On Wednesday, I got on a plane and flew to NY. So, you know, it wasn't hectic or anything. :) I got in Wednesday evening, made my way from JFK to Hell's Kitchen and had dinner with Neil.

Things I Haven’t Blogged About

October 7, 2008 Filed Under: Neil is awesome, writing

Issue 3 of Slice Magazine is out with a reprint of my Bathtub Mary story. I got my copy in the mail, stared at it for about an hour and then called my husband and got all weepy when I told him about it. The issue is fantastic. Great stories, and a fascinating interview with Salman Rushdie. I'm going to a junior high English class on Friday to talk about the story (they've been studying it this week). Neil was in town two weekends ago for a seminar and came up a day early so we could hang out.
