I write in a vacuum. I rarely speak to people. I can go whole days without speaking to anyone much during the day at least - apart from my 2 year old. The last time I went to a social type thing, I came away with two commissions. I need to meet people for "Coffee". Instead of just drinking a lot of it.alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09338687691871813019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-68650724887343640462010-07-19T17:00:00.158+10:002010-07-19T17:00:00.158+10:00A nod in agreement from me, one of your "C&qu...A nod in agreement from me, one of your "C" List friends.

Can actually imagine you doing an interpretive dance...seems like it would be right up your alley...perhaps combining coffee and interpretive dance would be a winning pitch!!! <br /><br />I'm sure as soon as you open your mouth your value proposition is obvious to the editor types...you are witty and wise!Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422169384250471413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-31026132799685537982010-07-19T10:38:02.850+10:002010-07-19T10:38:02.850+10:00Gotta say I love the talking thing as a novelist. ...Gotta say I love the talking thing as a novelist. When you have a number of books under your belt, people actually listen to you. It's quite refreshing compared to home life where you have to scream 15 times to get anyone to do anything!<br /><br />P.S. what do you want to move down the alphabet for?

I've tried to switch it up and alternate the coffee with chai - otherwise I'm too wired for the drive home - not to mention the poor last person on my list.
