Thursday...and a reading on Sunday

For the past couple of days, I've been working on an article about a bill on a governor's desk awaiting his signature. (No, I won't tell you which governor or what bill...yet) Since the governor had 20 days to sign the bill into law, I figured that I had time to track down my interviewees and corral them into talking to me.

The story was unfolding a lot faster than I anticipated: Two days ago, I got a text letting me know that the governor had agreed to sign the bill. Yesterday, he did.

So my story is in (and may be the only larger news coverage of the event). Now I await editorial response.

My latest post on the Girls of Color in Dystopia blog series for Bitchmedia also went up today. I look at the society run by women of color in Alaya Dawn Johnson's beautifully written The Summer Prince.

You can read the blogpost here:

AND...because sending my article in left me with a "now what?" void, I finished my next blog post and am now trying to wrap up the one after that. (My, aren't I a busy bee today?)

Finally, if you live in the NYC area and aren't spending Mother's Day with the mamas in your life (or think they'd wanna come to this), come to the make/shift Mother's Day reading at Zinc Bar! Details are here: http://www.goodreads.com/event/show/8...
