Mentor Meetup

I went down to Norwalk, Conn., on Wednesday to hear from my mentor about the first draft of my novel.

It's always an anxious experience. Combine that with crappy, rainy weather, Norwalk's limited parking and the fact that Nalini is a no-bullshit type of mentor and that makes it downright petrifying.

But it was a great experience. She had some creative suggestions to some of the problems I've been struggling with. And, she turned me onto the Fat Cat Pie Co., which has some great thin-crust pizza and some cola with cane sugar.

Good food, good advice, good drink. Well worth the trip.
