something I wrote will be on the web somewhere besides here

At the end of April, I went to a panel about literary agents. For once I was not in a bitter, alienated mood. It might have helped that the agents were nice and I was having a little vacay in the West Village. I talked to a few people. One of them was an arty Asian girl with glasses.

I invited her and the other three people I talked to, to my writing group. None of them joined. I returned to bitterness. Several weeks later, the arty girl emailed me about her new magazine. She invited me to a wine-tasting/ meeting, and I was going to be in town anyway so I went. I was hungry and ate like half the grapes and a third of the crackers. No one else was really eating. No one else was playing with this cute little dog either. Who were these people?

I felt bad about eating too many crackers so I took an assignment that same week. That was just last week. I interviewed this guy, whose movie premieres next Wednesday. I also wrote a short review.

The interview and review are supposed to go up on Thursday. I have my fingers crossed. I'm holding my breath. I'm succumbing to all sorts of cliches. I think when it happens I will be a little bit happier than I was before.
