Sneaking around.

Wendy’s work-in-progress for her new book, The Wilder Life

I stopped reading my reviews, and also I am writing again. Also I’ve been listening to a lot of music.

I’m actually the happiest I’ve been in months.

I still have a long ways to go in terms of promoting this book though. Here are the next two events:

February 11 -Brooklyn, NY
The Greatest 3-Minute Rock n’ Roll Stories Ever Told @ Bar Matchless, 8:00 PM
Facebook Invite
(18 readers, 3 minutes each. This will be packed and fun.)

February 15 – New York, NY
Just Working on My Novel series @ The Tank, 7:30 PM
Facebook Invite
(I think this is a bit workshoppy. You can read your work in progress, plus I will read. Sign up early! I have heard good things about this event.)
