Rainy days reign
What is more perfect that the pouring rain outside, a cozy writing office inside, and a cup of tea? I have actually been up for most of the night and haven't slept all day, but this vague, hallucinatory state of being awake is sort of nice.
Make it camomile tea or something similar. Sleepless usually signals a busy mind trying to reconcile something. Tell your brain (very firmly) to do a Scarlett O'Hara and 'think about that tomorrow'. Might work.
My l0th novel IS THIS TOMORROW (Algonquin Books) is a May Indie Pick! I'm also the New York Times bestselling author of PICTURES OF YOU (Algonquin), which sold to 6 countries, went into 5 printings, and was a San Francisco Chronicle Lit Pick, a Costco "Pennie's Pick" and a NAIBA bestseller. Pictures of You is also a USA Today ebook bestseller and is on the Best Books of 2011 List from San Francisco Chronicle, Providence Journal, Kirkus Reviews and Bookmarks Magazine. It's also one of Kirkus Reviews Top 5 books of 2011 about the Family and love. I'm the recipient of a New York Foundation of the Arts Grant in Fiction. I was a 2013 finalist in the Sundance Screenwriting Lab and a finalist in the Nickelodeon Screenwriting Fellowship, four of my novels were optioned for screen, and I talked my way into writing the script for two of them. My essay, HIgh Infidelity, has been optioned for film. I'm a book critic for The Boston Globe and People Magazine. I teach novel writing for UCLA and Stanford online, do private fiction editing, and I am a professional namer! I live with my husband and son. Visit me at http://www.carolineleavitt.com.
