Where I Wrote: The Table Tennis Subway Plaza at the top of the lifts at the 190th St. station on the A line. How I Feel About What I Wrote: It was genuinely good work that put me at ease about the rest of the book. The Mood I Brought to the Table: Weirdly unfazed.... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 26: The Prep Session
Where I Wrote: The New York Public Library in Bryant Park. In case that means nothing to you (it sounds so bland), it's the flagship of the NYPL system--the striking Beaux Arts building with the two stone lions out in front, just a short walk from Times Square. How I Feel About What I Wrote: Really... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 15: Can’t Stop Won’t Stop
Where I Wrote: The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center. How I Feel About What I Wrote: Really good. It's not perfect (as I was packing up my tablet, I thought of an addition I had to make). I honestly might cheat a bit tonight and add a handful of tweaks... Continue Reading →
30 Days of NaNoWriMo – Day 12: Too Perfect–Must Take Picture
Where I Seriously Barely Wrote: The New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx. How I Feel About What I Wrote: Honestly, kinda meh. I will get it out there right off the bat that I'm not upset about how little I wrote. I am sure though that what I did write needs to be cut... Continue Reading →
Brand New Day – Week 15 – You Don’t Look Back
I was sitting at an old friend’s house. She (let’s call her Claire), like a lot of other friends, moved abroad last year, but she stopped by for the holidays to see family and friends. So I was glad to get an invite from her; not to be dramatic, but via a bunch of different... Continue Reading →

Last night, I decided to delete a chapter and a new character from the book. Don't freak out! Doing this hasn't set me back at all. To the contrary, getting rid of an entire chapter and a new character who wasn't exactly helping is incredibly healthy. Particularly for a first time writer who intends to submit...

Brand New Day – Week 9 – When the Night Comes
When I was young, I used to get upset when the night came. A better word would probably be "afraid," but that implies that I was just scared of the dark (which I was, but it isn't that simple). I used to be afraid that the day was ending and I didn't do enough with... Continue Reading →
Brand New Day – Week 1
Last week, on Wednesday, the 14th, I worked my last day at Borders. The rest of that week and the weekend that followed disappeared in a bunch of Borders closing parties (and the hang-overs that followed). Yesterday, Monday, the 19th, was a brand new day. In short, it was the beginning of my gamble to... Continue Reading →
