Hello world!
I decided to go to New York City for the first time on an impromptu weekend vacation. I’m so glad I went. I love this city. Something about the lights, the variety, and a sense of being somewhere where something is always happening. Of course it is also the publishing capital of the world and the home of many literary agents as well as the headquarters of many agencies and corporate giants.
Two of my loves are writing and social media. Seeing New York tickled both of these. In conversations with locals I got to talk about what I do, what I think social media means, and where I think it is going to go. Meanwhile, I am strolling up and down Broadway oogling the shows, culture, and entertainment.
I made sure to eat a hot dog from a stand, pizza, and a bagel. I also had two fancy dinners. Perilla (restaurant of a Bravo Top Chef contestant) was WONDERFUL.
As I enjoyed myself I thought about my career as a writer. I am thankful that I think about writing everyday, that I believe in myself, and that I work as hard as hard and humbly as I do. I suppose some people might find New York intimidating but I found it inspiring. It really made me want to work hard.
Thank you, New York! I hope to visit you again soon.
