Reeling from all the techno marketing today. Vimeo and Youtube pages revised. Worked on the slider for this website for 3 hours via Skype w/an AWESOME guy in India. Claimed my author page on GOOD READS (and now there’s a lot more to do). Installed the code that’s in the STORE on this site –– an...

Very happy with the reactions to my email BLAST this morning –– lots of sweet responses plus some groovy free consults which are always inspiring and fascinating.  And a super-delightful birthday brunch with beautiful/wonderful Cristy and her great mom and Zoe, too.  (Details tomorrow, since we’re al...

Today I got an email with the next generation cover possibility for the novel, one which they love and I think I might almost love. I mean, I do love it for its own sake. The questions are a) does it convey that this is the story of a bad boy b) is it too bright since this story involves LOTS of night? But...

Le plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.  (Sorta) It’s hard to pinpoint the exact moment my yoga adventure really began –– sometime around when I was 11 or 12 and read my first yoga book and started doing poses –– but a MAJOR chapter took place at the Laughing Lotus in NYC where I did my te...

I don’t know why I was thinking of this, but as I was meeting my publisher for the first time today, I kept flashing back to all those reruns of MURDER SHE WROTE where Jessica Fletcher travels from Maine to NYC to meet her publisher. Maybe it’s that –– for the first time since college –– I felt...

Inexplicably, my iPhone 4 screen cracked yesterday. I didn’t drop it –– just put it into my bag –– but somehow the screen was semi-shattered. After a visit to the Apple Store with Belle, I did upgrade to the 5 (let’s be honest, I’m in it for the long haul with Apple) and decided also to s...

This weekend, I remembered once again just how much more refined one’s sense of time becomes during the editing process. Film captures images at 24 frames per second, and my editor and cinematographer and I spent hours shaving off 4 frames (or a 1/6 of a second) or adding 2 (or 1/12 of a second) and ...

Last night, Sarah and I went to see Joy Harjo speak at a PEN event, where she said a lot of interesting things, a lot of poetic things, and some things that were just plain … bananas.  [My favorite –– which just may mean she’s not great at math –– was talking about how many families there are w...

I thought the word “fork” was in the Frost poem somewhere, but it’s not. Nonetheless, this does not diminish the LOA miracle of last night. After walking to and fro Cristy’s pad (60 minutes each way), and realizing I wanted some pasta before Adrian swung by, I also had a dim recolle...
