Did I ever tell you about the time I met David Bowie?
Little known facts:
He has eyebrows
He is not 8 feet tall
He has a tribal tattoo on the back of his (I think) right calf
And he smells absolutely delicious.
He lived in Woodstock for a year or two and patronized our little bookstore during the time I was working there.
I am not a fan girl of musicians normally (for writers- absolutely!), but realized after I had asked him for an autograph for my sister (who is his #1 fan) I spoke without taking a breath for about 3 minutes.
Little known facts (continued):
Yes, Jo can hold her breath for 3 minutes.
Anyway I was wondering what to blog about and we’re moving in less than a week, and I just finished the edits on: 1) my YA ASHES,ASHES coming from Scholastic in 2011 (yay!) and 2): edits for my agent on my YA FIERCE coming from who knows who in the year blank.
So I’ve had quite a lot on my plate recently.
and more excitement than I can bear but unfortunately NOT desserts….
Once the edits are done it’s nail chewing time because it means that there may actually be a published book at the end of all this work and that makes me equally happy and worried that I am going to vomit from nerves.
Fact #trillion about me: I can worry about things for many moons, even though I know I have no control over them at all.
So I’m a bundle of nerves over here
but oh so happy!
I’m wondering if the change in my home is going to inspire me.
Moving to NY and living here for the last ten years certainly did.
I’m thinking that change is good for the soul.
It freshens the mind.
It forces you to open your eyes to everything that is new and different.
I’m betting Nova Scotia is going to smell different from New York.
What do you think?
Change=GOOD?
Or are we all Bilbo Bagginses at heart?
