Well, I had a very exciting day this week -- I was invited to be a panelist at Marymount Manhattan College's Writers' Conference. It was exhilarating to be surrounded by hundreds of writers. The keynote speaker at lunch was none other than David Baldacci , you know, the author of "Absolute Power" and at least 15 other novels. I don't know how he does it. I asked him if he was ever in the middle of a project and abandoned it; and unbelievably, he once abandoned a 160,000 word project with only six weeks left on his deadline and wrote another 180,000 words within the six week period. Now that's a writer!
Guess who I want to be when I grow up?
Until next time, "The brightest light shines Behind the Shadows"
