April 4 Roundup

Saturday I'm going to be part of the Literary Orange event, which I'm very excited about for two reasons:

1. I've never attended before, and I've heard great things.
2. One of the keynote speakers is Marlo Thomas. Hello? Paging my childhood!

If you're in the Irvine area, maybe you should stop by!

And in case you missed it, I blogged this week on the Poisoned Pen Press site about starting the book process all over again—and how to put myself in a receptive frame of mind for the creative process. I'm not sure I have the answers, but the best suggestion I got was "jalapenos." (I'm not kidding, check out the comments.)

Here's the blog: And Start All Over Again

And here's the video I wanted to embed, but couldn't on that site. 

Happy weekend!
