Dear All –
Very, very, very sorry for the long lapses in posting this year. I am still here and working on coming back to the blog. For the past few months I have been crazy busy working on writing. In addition to taking two writing classes this year, I attended a non-fiction pitch writer’s conference where I pitched my book idea to agents and editors at publishing houses. Two editors asked to see a finished and final product. This was very exciting and now I really have to put the pedal to the metal and get the draft finalized and polished!
In addition, I did a reading of my work at a literary bar in Manhattan. This was really cool (I was a touch nervous) opportunity to be invited to. But more than that, it was a chance to test out the material to an audience. That was very helpful to see what they respond to. I was thinking about uploading the reading to the blog, but the reading is was about 15 minutes long – but if anyone wants to see what I read, I can upload it. I took a bunch of Reindeer posts and pulled them into a reading.
I think my writing planets are aligning!
Much love and appreciation!

DG

So glad to hear that things are working in your favor! I am a huge fan of your blog, so I can only imagine how good your other writing is. I would love to read it.
Looking forward to the upcoming posts!
All the best.
Hate to be saying this but this is a "told you so" moment, I knew u would land a publishing/writing gig, ur story has managed to captivate me, a guy who has little patience for books or fiction with ur writing ( I know I know, ppl consider me weird) so I am not at all surprised but proud of u :)
Hey really happy for you desi girl, Good going! Have been following your blog since two years now..had always enjoyed your writing.
very cool! i'd be curious to hear/read what you read :) good luck with your writing projects!

Dear NS -
Ha ha ha! You can have all the "I told you so" moments you want! And I don't think you are weird, I think sometimes different things catch our attention for some reason. And thanks for your kind words I do appreciate it!
