Week in Review

Phew – what a week already! This time of year is always a crazy balance of work + life. I had some deadlines recently, so I've been writing & editing a lot from home. But I also met up with my workshop group for a few hours on Saturday – It was a great critique session and I left, as usual, inspired by the growth in their manuscripts & happy about their individual comments on my work-in-progress story. I finally did some holiday shopping & bought a (mini) Christmas tree. Other things I've been up to this week? Oh, fun activities like visiting the dentist and the DMV. You know how it goes. I'm really looking forward to friday – we're going to the Hamptons for our last little getaway before I'm on travel lock-down. I can't wait to experience the area in the sleepy off-season!

Before I Die....

Have you heard about the Before I Die blackboard in Brooklyn Heights? It's a project that began in New Orleans and has spread to construction zones across the world...

This particular spot is at the site of a future Shake Shack. There's a few bins of chalk, and passersby are welcome to write out their own life goal. I accidentally bumped into the blackboard on my way to a meeting over the weekend, and here's some of what I read...
