In case you were wondering…

…why I’ve been so quiet. I’m in Florida! Visiting my family. I just cooked them a huge Mother’s Day dinner tonight with four courses including… oh wait… this is for my book. Yes, that’s right, remember my book? Well when I return to New York tomorrow my summer of book writing will begin. I have until the first week of September to write 50,000 words. Do you think I can do it? I hope I can! So does my editor, my publisher and my agent. I will do my best to maintain my blog while writing this book, but we’ll see how that goes. In the meantime, I have one more meal from graduation weekend to tell you about. That you’ll hear about tomorrow or the next day. Until then, I better get packing! My return to New York is tomorrow and my summer of book writing begins! (Oh: and Happy Mother’s Day to all the baby mamas out there. To quote Fantasia: “It’s like a badge of honor / to be a baby mama.”)
