Happy Friday!!!

Happy Friday mes amies! ( and April Fools Day! We might have some snow coming later today , talk about a bad joke! )

I hope you had a great week! Don't know if it's me but it feels like it just flew by... I just came across an excerpt of Candace Bushnell's new novel, Summer and the City, a sequel to the Carrie Diaries which I bought last year but still haven't read yet. I believe it's geared toward Young Adults but I'm still going to read it since I'm a big fan of all that she writes as I find her portrayal of women to be refreshing and sharp.  Also fascinating to read is this write up about Anna Wintour in the Wall Street Journal.

There's an interesting piece in today's Huffington Post on how to write the perfect book. These tips are quite helpful, hope they will inspire you!

Never quit!

I came across this uplifting poem that I posted a while back, and I love it so much, I'm publishing it again!

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint on the clouds of doubt,
And you can never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.

New Book-The Carrie Diaries

In "The Carrie Diaries," Sex and the City writer Candace Bushnell reveals what Carrie Bradshaw was like in high school, before the days of Mr. Big, Samantha, Charlotte, Miranda, and Manolos....Here is a preview:


1. Carrie was a trendsetter even as a teen: She rocked a pair of vintage white patent-leather go-go boots on her first day of senior year.

2. Carrie was career-minded even at a young age. In the book, she applies to a summer writing seminar at the New School in New York City.

3. Carrie still sticks to her girlfriends. Lali and Maggie take the place of Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda.

4. However, we see hints of Carrie's adult life in the book. One of her classmates is Cynthia Viande: class president, head of the prom committee, and all-star Girl Scout. (Basically, a total Charlotte.) Cynthia's frenemy is Donna LaDonna, who turns heads at assembly wearing a very revealing wedding dress, like Madonna during her "Like a Virgin" days. A pre-SATC Samantha perhaps?

5. The Mr. Big in Carrie's teen love life could be the mysterious new student, Sebastian Kydd, that's got the entire school buzzing.
