Guyaholic reading tomorrow in NYC
We're back from a lovely and relaxing vacation in the Adirondacks where I swam, read, cooked, and did absolutely no work on my new book. And I'm totally stressing about it because I have so many ideas...I just need to find the time to write. I'm waiting for those wide open stretches time that I used to have pre-baby, but that's ancient history. Phew. Wish me luck.
The big and exciting news around our house (well, apartment...but we call it a house) is that my son is starting a new pre-pre-school tomorrow morning. He has new sneakers and a new haircut and he's very excited to see what toys will be in store for him. I get to attend WITH him for the first few days! So exciting. I love watching him do his thing in the world.
And then, after a morning in pre-pre-school, we're headed to my dad's apartment (not sure why, but I never call this one a house). He lives nearby and he's going to rescue us tomorrow because we have a contractor tearing apart our bedroom. And then, after a packed afternoon, I'm going to un-frizz my hair and dig through my backpack for something clean to wear (yes, I'm living out of a backpack tomorrow) and hand off my son to my husband and then I'm scurrying to a downtown train bound for...
My First NYC Reading of Guyaholic!!
Yes, it is THE MOST HECTIC DAY IN THE WORLD. My head spins just thinking about it. And, typical me, I keep wondering how/where I'll be able to eat. But I guess the good news is that I'm not obsessing (too much) about the Guyaholic reading. If I think about it I'll get nervous, butterflies, the whole thing. I'll wonder what I should wear (cool jeans and a top? new brown dress?). And I'll wonder, even after seven years and four books, what to say BEFORE I begin reading. "Hi, I'm Carolyn?" (they know I'm Carolyn). "Hey, y'all?" (I'm so not southern). "Howdy, this here is my new book" (Duh). Hopefully I'll think of something between now and tomorrow. If you have a good idea, email me, okay?
FYI, if you live in NYC and want to come to the reading, here are the details:
Wednesday, September 5 - Teen Author Reading Night (6-7:30, the Tompkins Square Branch of the NYPL, 331 E. 10th Street, off of Ave B)
Okay, off to dig through piles for the new brown dress (or cool jeans and a top?). I'll let you know what I decide.
Love,
Carolyn
PS Speaking of NYC events, I'd like to put in an extra-special plug for my extra-special friend, Megan McCafferty, author of the bestselling Fourth Comings. She'll be reading/speaking/signing in NYC on Thursday, September 6 (6-8pm Borders, Columbus Circle). For more info on Megan's event, check out www.meganmccafferty.com. I'll be there too!
