First, I missed my Italian class today because my car started smoking, made a horrific noise and wouldn't start. AAA came and towed my car. One of my belts broke and it will cost me $350 to get my car back on Monday. Sigh.
Hillary says she's in. This is shaping up to be one of the most interesting Presidentials races in decades. There are a bunch of Republicans and Democratics already in the race. It has been years since we haven't had an incumbent or current VP running. I am still doing my research on the candidates. Looking forward to hearing what they have to say.
I spoke to one freelance editor yesterday. The fee? $8,000. Let's just say that is way past my budget. I am waiting to hear back from a few others.
Last night a screenwriter friend took me to dinner at Ago to celebrate my book. She is so sweet. I am still working on it but she said finishing drafts of 300 plus pages is an accomplishment. She liked the book and had some good notes. She is a very talented writer and her comments made my day. She also told our waiter I spoke Italian (ha). He asked me some questions and then complimented me on my outstanding Italian. (ha, again)

Hey there, sounds like things are coming along...when are you coming to Rome again, I forget? We should grab a coffee if/when you are in town... and yes, you DO speak Italian, fun!
Shelley,
I will be there the last week in February. I'll email you when I get closer to the date. I'm staying right in Trastevere,so would love to meet for a gelato or hot chocolate (non bevo mai caffè)
Regarding Italian, the word "speaking" is still a stretch. :)
