Hi Lena!  Thank you so much for adding me!  I checked your blog after I sent the friend request (a little backwards perhaps!) and have added it to my favorites.  I look forward to reading it.

I was as well, I have heard of Kent. I went to Deerfield Academy all four years. And somehow, I came out semi-prep, four years does rub off more, I suppose. :)

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?

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.

hi lena! is your book out? can't wait to see it and read it. well i'd imagine you are busy! i only have one, so i am much less busy- and yet still busy! thanks for telling me about this group! see you in the hallway.

Ciao Léna! 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.

Welcome! I look forward to reading your work.

Welcome to She Writes and to the NaNoWriMo-group.
Let's hope that some more people will discover how much fun it can be to write a "shitty" first draft - because then you have something to work with and to revise. I am looking forward to seeing/reading you around the group. Please just start a thread with any question you have or experience you'd like to contribute.
