The Face of Monday

Yes, was another EARLY start today (the dreaded 4:15AM alarm bell!) My flight back was 6:20AM, so you do the math...I've already been up for what seems like an entire day. WooHoo!

Did have a mini-revelation last night. I've deceided what my BOOK is going to be about (yes, I'm just THAT cliché. I want to write a book. And no, I have no illusions about my (copy)writing abilities...I'm no great novelist, I make bad speling mistaks, but I'm in NY and feel like there's a book just trying to get out of me...dear GOD...this just sounds more and more lame the more I write. Sorry!)

So what's it about...well, you can be my test audience, let me know what you think. (drum roll). It's going to be....A Canucks Guide to Moving and Living in NY. Yeah, figured write about what you know (see I TOLD you it isn't the next great American novel or anything). So I could talk about all the stuff I learned here (the hard way I might add) and all the stuff that one should do BEFORE they make the leap (like looking...that usually helps a LOT!) Don't really know how one goes about writing such a thing, but will find a course (LOVE taking courses) and see how I can get my little pet project off the ground. Man, I must have been a sloth or something in a past life, why must I be constantly be looking for more things to do? Anyway, would love your thoughts. Comments or email or facebook or whatever!

Tonight - sleep. Tomorrow - back to normal life. Weekend - still in limbo, hoping for a cheap mid-week flight to avail itself to me, but will see. Perhaps I'll even try a last minute flight to Buffalo? Haven't done that yet. Indeed shaping up to be yet another dramatic week on the blog (sorry ya'll, hey, I AM seeing Stevie Wonder in mid-November, hopefully that makes up for some dullness in the meantime).

Thanks hope you're feeling better than I am right now!
Cheers,
Lisa C

Hi Lisa, I think your book will be great! I will certainly read it even though I have no hope of moving to NYC I'd still like to read about it! Good luck!
