Leaving Houston (or Katy actually) I headed for Austin to speak at Cedar Park High School. After dinner at Austin's famous Kerbey Lane restaurant (I had yummy migas) and spending the night at a friend's (playing with her son's hilarious dog Joey) I headed out early for Cedar Park.
It was drizzling, which I love, and thankfully I had an umbrella in my overstuffed car. A friendly office aide walked me back to the library where this was waiting for me:
Along with a break room full of delicious treats--the Rice Krispy Treats were especially wonderful--and an eager staff. How cool is that?
My day consisted of speaking to a creative writing class, a Latin class, and several English classes. (I might be biased, but I think the creative writing class made the best audience.) I told them a lot about my writing process, how I became a writer, how writers make money, and my three top tips for aspiring writers. When I discussed tip number three, Become an Observer of Life, I used a mysterious bruise on my forearm as an example. (Sadly, that bruise has faded to a small, faint, hickey-like mark, so I can't share a pic.)
The day was a blast, I had lunch with head librarian Chris Kay at a fun Mexican restaurant, and would definitely trek that way again for another visit.
When school let out I headed on down the road to my next stop: Arlington, Texas--aka a Ft. Worth suburb. Guess what? Tune in tomorrow to find out about my time in DFW. (I know. Torture.)
Hugs,
TLC
