Last night I was at a holiday party, and got a lot of the following: "Weren't you writing a book?" Rather than explain again the glacial pace of traditional publishing, I can now at least say, "Yes, and it's coming out in 3 months." Then, of course, the conversation moves on to what the book is about. I am taking heart in the response. From mother of sons, it is sometimes, "you're writing my life," and more often "my son and I are really close. Tell me more." From fathers, it is usually, "Hmmmmm, that's really interesting. Has anyone else written about this?" (My response: Not that I know of, and I've been researching this for years.)
Heading into Manhattan again today - always exhausting this time of year. Tourists are great for the economy, but it is absolute pedestrian gridlock all over midtown.
