Anne Writes a Novel

I’m going to the NYC Pitch and Shop workshop tomorrow and I’m terrified.

I’m a native Californian, so the whole thing—the city, the taxis, and the fact that I’ll be pitching to actual editors—is a bit daunting.

Earlier this year, I said I wanted to go big with my writing.  This meant a lot of things—like making and keeping strict writing appointments, setting up a writing space at home, buying a professional printer, and investing in writing activities—so the Pitch and Shop workshop was definitely part of the plan for 2009.

I am way excited too.  I can’t wait to meet all the other writers and to see what an editor thinks of my first Sicily Dunn novel, Hot Lotus.  I depart tomorrow and return next week, so more to come!!
