Wow! As a northerner transplanted to the Redneck Riviera (where the local idea of "culture" includes crawfish eating contests and mullet-tosses across the state line), I am envious of so many opportunities in your neck of the woods. Tell me, do you live near Yaddo? Is it still a viable "enterprise"? Have you ever considered being a writer-in-residence there? Now, with all of that out of the way, there is this: Have a wonderful November -- and a great Thanksgiving. And watch out for snow and ice on those roads (i.e., something I do not miss from my northern days).
ReplyDeleteOh, there are plenty of silly contests up this way too!
DeleteI'm about 75 minutes from Yaddo, I think... I stayed there for six weeks in '07 and wrote the draft of a book that's coming out next year. (It really precedes Glimmerglass, but I held on to it longer.) Not planning to do that sort of thing again while I have children at home.
Thanks! You have a great one as well. My birthday is often on the Day, but not this year, so I'll get several feasts. I'm looking forward to January, when there are no commitments, or not many. It's a bit hopeless to plan events for that month, so I can use it to catch up, or do personal travel, or something...
The sky is pouring snow here at the moment. I hope it has a mind to stop soon.
Wow, you're getting a lot of good reviews and cake! Why would anyone not want to be a novelist? I hope Glimmerglass does well for you and Mercer!
ReplyDeleteNo snow here, but we awoke to heavy frost and frozen birdbaths.
Whew, I just arrived home from a college visit with my youngest. Night-time blizzardish conditions, ugh! And a very long day.
DeleteCake was quite tasty... Thank you!
Wow, you really are keeping busy with promotions! Wish your book all success - can't wait to get it when it is available up north!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the wintry weather in your part of the world! After some rather early stormy rains and high winds, we've been enjoying clear sunny days and frosty nights. Soon we'll be back to rain though. Some of the ski hills are making snow to get a head start on the season.
Thanks, Marja-Leena! I don't know how busy I am with the book--it feels like less than the arduous business of college applications and visits...
DeleteI am not enjoying the start of winter. Am trying to get into the spirit of the Great Cold, but it's not working so far. I seem colder than ever this year. Just turned up the heat, as it had fallen down to 60. Brrr. I am never going to make a proper faux-Yankee.
I could not survive there. My thermostat is at 78 during the day and 75 at night.
ReplyDeleteWell, I just keep putting on layers and turn up the heat. And then I start a fire in the fireplace if I cannot get warm. But it's not a great climate for a southerner...
