I Am Procrastinating

What I do when I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

Try It: Cross Country Train

Between Saturday July 11th and Tuesday, July 14th, I'll be on rails.

The 72 hours will be filled with:
- reading (Claudia Gray's Evernight, Julia Quinn's What Happens In London, and Gaelen Foley's My Wicked Marquess),
- evaluating manuscripts from my critique group,
- napping,
- eating,
- stretching (lots of stretching! the quarters are cramped)
- watching DVDs (Gilmore Girls, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and BBC's Persuasion)

Catch my Twitter Feed for live train updates as my connection allows!

If this is anything like my last cross country trip:
- someone's gonna moon me
- I'll talk my way into the control room
- the night sky in the Midwest will glitter in the all-window observatory train
- someone else is gonna moon me
- we'll run out of water and it's gonna get medieval

See you on the other side at Romance Writer's of America's 2009 National Conference in Washington, D.C.

Martha, this sounds so exciting! Reading, writing, tv! And you have the perfect excuse because you're trapped on a train! Exciting. But maybe it's just the way you write:)))

See you on the other side of the country!

Sounds like lots of fun! I do hope you'll blog all about your experience at the conference. I've been busy traveling too and its fun but at the same time tiring!

It sounds like heaven (I mean, what with all those moons and everything!)
Wish I was going - last RWA I went to was in Atlanta and it was so overwhelming but amazing.
Have an awesome time!!!

I'm so glad you made it. And I went on amtrak.com to see how long it takes from SF to Georgia, because I'm a little jealous and also a little in awe. Go, Martha!!
