Did you hear?!
So let’s talk about a bunch of random stuff!
First off, I’m celebrating my 27th birthday this weekend. Boyfriend has very sweetly suggested a “Special Lady Day” (this is way less mushy if you watch The League…trust me). We’re going to have breakfast, buy flowers at the SM farmer’s market, go to my favorite furniture store, and just generally hang out. Once night rolls around, I’m having a birthday dinner with friends at ROC, followed by fancy craft cocktails at Oldfields!
In other news, I’ve started writing DIVE, my new YA novel about a 15 year old cliff diver. Here’s a quick sample:
“The edge of the cliff drops off so suddenly that you could miss it in the dark. My people say that many did, once upon a time, but we’ve since learned to be mindful of the way the earth feels beneath our feet. The sharp dig of a jagged rock, the cool brush of a tall reed: they mean more to you when they’re the last thing you feel before you take the Dive.”
What do you think? It reminds me a bit of ISLAND OF THE BLUE DOLPHINS, but from a male perspective. Remember that book? So wonderful.
And now, a few more pictures of my apartment, because I just love it so much.
we found this awesome painting in a furniture store on Lincoln in SM. We haggled it down to something reasonable, and now it hangs above our kitchen table.
this is my reading corner. It still needs some work, but it is *very* comfy.
Do you have a favorite spot in your house to read? What do you do to make it cozy? Let me know in the comments!
Happy Friday!
