jajance@me.com\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\nSo what have I been doing this week? \u00a0Fighting my way through pre-tour details. \u00a0Playing travel agent by making airline reservations and rental car connections both for the tour and for the trip to the University of Massachusetts event at the end of March. \u00a0Getting all those pieces to match up is no simple task. \u00a0Oh, and yesterday I had to have the full-meal-deal beauty treatment in advance of yesterday afternoon’s video shoot for the The Art and Business of Writing, a 9 day workshop for wannabe writers that I’ll be teaching at the University of Arizona at the end of May. \u00a0I don’t have enrollment details on that yet, but once I do, they will be posted. \u00a0Even so, the video shoot was fun, and I’m hoping to be able to post some of that on the website as well.<\/p>\n
This morning I’ve answered approximately 100 e-mail queries that showed up as a result of the newsletter mailing. \u00a0I’ve also done three phone interviews for Moving Target so far this week. \u00a0There’s another one due tomorrow. \u00a0When I’m in Arizona, it’s always a challenge to make sure the interviewer has me at the right time zone. \u00a0This becomes especially tricky when Daylight Savings switches on and Arizona is suddenly on Pacific Time instead of Mountain<\/p>\n
And then there’s my real job, my day job–I’m supposed to be writing a book. \u00a0When I went on Book Tour duty, Ali Reynolds and B. were about to have a conversation about what to do to help their daughter-in-law, Athena, cope with her aging grandmother’s issues from half a continent away. \u00a0And now, if you’ll forgive me, I’ll stop blogging and get back to that scene in Unnamed Ali # 10. \u00a0After all, blogging is my hobby. \u00a0It doesn’t pay the bills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
