I'm on a train right now headed to New York for some work stuff. Train travel is nice. So less stressful than airports.
Well, as you can see from the post below this one, I will soon be a published author. It's all very exciting. Yes. Yes. It all went down rather smoothly so I consider myself quite fortunate.
What I'm reading
I'm reading a book called Tides by another Clarion/HMH author, Betsy Cornwell. It's quite lovely. Wonderful language and voice. The story centers around those elusive creatures from Irish myth, the selkie. The book has a very literary feel, one of the reasons I was drawn to Clarion.
What else am I reading? Very soon, I'll be reading my contract!
What I'm writing
I'll be tackling revisions for HOODOO as soon as I get my editorial letter! It will be interesting to start this next step of the publishing journey. I've read so many posts and articles about editorial revisions that I can't wait to get started. I think I even have some bookmarked so I can learn from other writers' experiences.
What inspires me right now
Looking at my deal announcement.
:)
Knowing that I achieved one of my life goals. Also, telling people to not give up on their dreams.
What else I've been up to
I've been watching True Detective on HBO. Fantastic show. Well-written and very deep. Not your typical TV detective trope. Waiting for Game of Thrones to come back on!
What's up with ya'll?
What's up Wednesday is the brainchild of Jaime Morrow and Erin Funk.

I love train travel too. I'll be doing some at the end the month and it is so much better than airport.

Congrats on your book deal!!!
That's one thing I've never done in this country: ride a train. I've done it often in the UK, but never here. It might be interesting to try sometime.
Huge congrats on the novel selling, Ron. May the edits go well this week! :)
