Oops, I did it again. Another year went by without blogging, even though I said I would. Turns out, NYC has a lot of shiny objects. Plus, I’ve focused my writing energy on my YA manuscript, ROAD NOISE. For the last ten months or so, I wrote Monday-Friday, from about 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and completed the book two weeks ago. It’s now in the cyber hands of a couple of agents (a hopeful assumption).
So timing is perfect to jump into the 2020 A to Z Blogging Challenge that starts April 1. The last time I participated in this challenge was back in 2015 and I really enjoyed it. You can check out those posts here.
This time around, I’ll be blogging about my experiences as a new New Yorker over the past year, as well as our new New Yorker life of being homebound in a small apartment during this pandemic. The city that never sleeps is definitely in for a long nap. So basically, each post will have two of each letter; a before and during, if you will.
Hopefully, this blogging challenge will give me something to focus on instead of my worrying about our friends and family back in Colorado, especially our son who attends college in Boulder.
Until then, stay safe and wash you hands.
Having never visited New York City (one of these days!), I’m looking forward to seeing it through your eyes, both the “then” and the “now”. Take good care, and wash your hands, too!
Thanks, Jenny. I’ll do my best! (on the posts and the hand-washing)
Looking forward to reading your posts about your experiences as a New Yorker especially under our new normal. Our oldest is a Senior at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. She’s now finishing her senior year back home in Maine. Interesting times. And – congrats on the manuscript! That’s a wonderful achievement! Weekends In Maine
Thank you, Karen! It must be so disheartening for your daughter to spend her last semester away from the school. Our son is in his junior year and as an industrial design major, it poses quite a challenge to not have studio classes. Interesting times, for sure. I look forward to following along on your A to Z Challenge!
First, congrats on completing your novel! That’s such a great achievement.
And second, I love your theme. Can’t wait to read it!
