Sat, 17 Feb 2007 14:37:19 +0000 http://www.sarazarr.com/?p=292#comment-3565 [...] Yesterday was one of those long, lonely days they don’t tell you about in “you’re going to be a full-time writer” school. Well, they do try to warn you, but you don’t listen because you have an agenda and a dream and don’t want anyone poking holes in either. The day just draaaaagggged on forever. I couldn’t write, I couldn’t get myself out of the house. From 10-7, I did virtually nothing of any value on any of the usual scales—productivity, “inner life”, interpersonal relations, or creative development. The only obstacle was, of course, me. Fortunately for my own sanity, the day was bookended by a great interview with City Weekly in the a.m., and a lovely dinner out with friends in the p.m. Scott at CW asked some really wonderful questions and I’m looking forward to seeing it run, I think next week. I’m on a bit of a mini-junket with an interview with the Deseret News next week and an appearance on Park City TV. These two things are a bit nervous making, I admit, because the D-News wants me to come to the office for an in-person interview and picture, and because PCTV is, well, TV. Ack. It’s all, of course, part of the big lead-up to the King’s English launch!
