To NYC, with love

After a great, and very snowy, trip up to Northampton, MA, to see my sister and mom, I boarded the train in New Haven and slowly rolled into the city for a week-long marathon of meetings and beers, meetings, beers, meetings, and ...

It's been a great trip thus far, which has already included a number of fine meetings, and beers, and its only Tuesday! Redux has done a great job of filling up my schedule with interesting appointments at clients, new and old, and showing the book has been successful thus far. My personal definition of success is making a connection with an editor and trying to start, or raise it to the next level, a relationship that can grow over time. I'm never been in this for the short term, and don't ever expect an editor to turn around and show me love immediately with a cool assignment (though I'm not closed off to that, please).

More importantly than clients, being in town is an opportunity to see some really good friends and get into passionate discussions of this thing we love so much, even when we hate it. Some tasty beverages in hand, and some great food on a fork, being around my friends and arguing about almost anything makes me feel alive and reminds me of why I started down this path a long time ago.

I didn't bring a laptop to NYC (freedom!), so the updates will continue to be very sparse over the next few days, while I gorge myself on reveling in the pace and beauty of this city.
