Some more fun travel news! Right before I head to Texas for the Writing Barn’s Rainbow Weekend Intensive, I’ll be in New York City dropping in to the Teen Author Festival organized by David Levithan! Not speaking. Just watching. From the back. Just ferociously yearning, all the way in the back.
Traveling
I’m going to Texas in March!
Some big news! This past month I applied for and got accepted into a weekend intensive writing program at The Writing Barn, in Austin, Texas! Woooo! The Rainbow Weekend Intensive, to be specific. A whole weekend full of writing, workshops, lectures, and I think at one point I get to paint a rock? I’m deliriously excited. I’m also anxious. Not about the rock, though. I am confident I can paint a rock. But a writing workshop?? For me?? Very suspicious.

I spent the past few days in New York and I wasn’t in complete agony!
Now, before I go further, I want to reject the notion that I blindly despise NYC because I went to school in Boston. Honestly, I’m shocked you’d even go and make that assumption. It really makes me questions how comfortable I am talking with you. What other prejudices are you projecting onto me? You, my reader, are probably a very paranoid and miserable person.
