A free agent, finally!

And by that, I mean, I am at long last not staring any rapidly approaching deadlines in the face. 2007 was all about tackling one deadline after another, after another. 2008 is all about finishing up at least 2 of those new novels-in-progress that are hanging out around here and having a great time doing it.



To celebrate, mom and I went out for Indian food last night. I had been craving Indian food for weeks now. I hadn't had any decent Indian food since leaving New York City. (And, no, this isn't a photo of the actual dinner we had; it's just a little visual I stole from someone else to help dress up the blog. Not quite as snazzy as an old photo of Sylvie Vartan, I realize, but oh well. I guess it depends on what you feel like eating: lovely French blondes or tandoori...)

Well, okay!

If you sent me an email at any point in the month of January and were now wondering if I'd fallen off the face of the Earth, I am now going to be tackling my email replies -- en francais as well as in English! So you should be regaled with a reply from moi at any moment now.

Hope life is thrilling you, wherever you are on this wonderful Thursday. Thanks for visiting, gang. See ya!
