My Tuesday Introspection
My grandma got run over by a reindeer, my grandpa got pickpocketed by an elf. Santa, when you come down my chimney this year, I'll be waiting for you with my shotgun.

Dec 11 meeting
date: Sunday, December 11
time: 1:00 pm
place: New York Public Library, 5th Av. and 41st St.
attendees: none!
This was the meeting that never happened. I arrived at the library to find it cordoned off from the bottom of the stairs, with a line of people on either end. It was a lot of stout figures in long coats and well-structured hats, with white invitations in their hands.
I left immediately, figuring people probably had my number. Apologies to anyone who might have shown up, confused.

Small Press Book Fair
date: Saturday, December 3
time: 1:30 pm
place: Small Press Center (20 W. 44th St)
attendees: James, Chee-Ming, Nina
We had a little informal meeting of the minds at the Small Press Book Fair. Speakers discussed the ingredients to getting published (passionate writing and networking), how to get a literary agent, and what NOT to do (introduce yourself as the next Dan Brown/Faulkner/Shakespeare etc). We discussed our writing ambitions, practices and trades of choice.
Good information from the organized event, but great to get to know new faces! Thank you, come again!

Nov 30 meeting
date: Wednesday, November 30
time: 6:30 pm
place: Space Cafe, 32nd St by 5th Av, northeast corner
attendees: Lily Huang
This was sad-- no one showed. But then it wasn't sad-- I spend much time alone and this was merely more. It was like other nights that I sit there and write. Space Cafe is a good place to be alone and write-- is perhaps the best writers' cafe in that sense in Manhattan.
I stayed for an hour and wrote a sketch of an immigrant couple and their Thanksgiving. Then I darted down to KGB, and caught a reading.
