What can I say? I’m a bit of a stress case but I have so many things working in my favor for the most part.
How lucky am I? I haven’t even been in NYC for a week and already I’ve had a reading with some wonderful writers, been to a birthday party for Marcy Dermansky the author of the book Twins and find that she bought me a cake for my birthday w/ my name on it and had her friends sing to me!
I had a birthday party of my own in which people actually showed up and with gifts even…so I’m a lucky woman!
It hasn’t completely hit me that I no longer live in Los Angeles and that I’m not a 15-minute drive to the hiking trail that would take me to the Hollywood sign. I’m far, far away. I am able to, however, to get to Central Park in about 40 minutes.
Some of the wonderful New Yorky things that have happened as of late are this…
Yesterday I was walking up the street with my angel of a friend, Mr. Julius Orange and I notice a pile of books lying on the ground outside of someone’s brownstone. Upon closer inspection I find that it’s a brand new, wrapped Dictionary along with two writing guides…mine for the taking. That so rocked, especially since my dictionary is not something that I packed to bring with me.
And today I’m walking up my temporary street to see a stoop sale (NY yard sale). I noticed a stack of new identical books and I knew that it must have been the sale of the author. I was correct. How often does that happen in Los Angeles? Fun! Check this out:
The weird thing is that that the girl that I met was named Foxy and that is the name I’m using for one of my projects…so, it’s just funny!
Anyway, I wanted to remind those of you who are reaching out to me that I’m quite backlogged with my correspondence at this time. I'm searching for work and trying to acclimate. Aside from that I don’t have internet service at home so it makes it hard for me to respond to emails. It’s not personal. Okie dokie?
