- Great about Moonflower, best of luck! Positive thoughts ARE key! Boarding school, I'm intrigued...which one if I may ask?

- That is AMAZING! Congratulations, what are the plots of the three--I have a YA bilingual novel on my hands and I am still wondering where to take it in need of a copy editor and all in between--

- What are you writing, by the way, I presume you too are in graduate school?
- At 6:37pm on September 11, 2009, Erika said…
- I am a PhD student, I just finished my coursework and have come back home to write my dissertation. I have taken a break this week from reading, but I will start up again next week. With less commitments, I am more lax about strictly managing my time. A number of my colleagues were juggling families, writing, teaching and some of them book touring as well. I admire that kind of dedication and ability to work...superwomen, without trying to impose more pressure because such a term could be loaded with high expectations, but they find ways.

Grazie for inviting me to this wonderful site! it is wonderful to network and share experiences w/ other writers this way. i would never have known about this if it weren't for your invite. grazie! what are you working on now? i'm working on a collection of short stories about my travels in sicily. perhaps we could form a NY writer's group if you're still here.
