New York, New York
So I've been gone a while, but staunch those tears, kids. I'm back! I jetted off to New York City for a few days where I lunched with both my editor and my agent, who are both charming, kind people. Really. I'm damn lucky. We talked about what we like to read, why I'm obsessed with lawyers, and a little bit about project #2.
While not working it, I saw my cousin Tom in the Broadway production of "The Little Dog Laughed." It was a great show with very sharp writing. I recommend it highly. Go see it. There's nudity! And laughter!
While not broadening my cultural horizons with theater I was shopping and eating. I got some holiday gifts bought (hurrah!) and I met up with friends I haven't seen in ages or since our last mutual friend's wedding (that's how these things work).
Overall, it was a faboo trip. It's always nice to return to Manhattan. And in a nice circular moment I passed the office building where I first worked in NYC post-college on my way to Harper Collins and all I could think was "Man, I am in such a better place now. Walking toward my publisher instead of toward a job I loathed."
