New York adventure
I'm getting up really, really early tomorrow to catch my flight to New York. This is entirely self-inflicted pain, as there was a later flight I could have taken, except that then I wouldn't have been able to go to the theater tomorrow night. Good theater is worth very little sleep.
I'm very excited about this trip, although I can't say if I'm most enthusiastic about the theater extravaganza, the planned Met Museum trip, or the conference itself. I'm participating in the voluntary Friday portion of the conference, in which the first 500 words of a manuscript is critiqued by a small group of people, including one editor or agent. It was a good exercise just to see where 500 words actually is, so I've already learned something. I have both Imogen and the new book beginnings prepared, but I haven't decided which ones I'll turn in. Should be interesting either way.
Otherwise, I'm looking forward to meeting some great people!
Also, the fact that I get to see the revival of A Little Night Music makes me extraordinarily happy. Think of me having the time of my life on Thursday night!
