Blogher, and a Book Party
I have meeting you on my mind today. I'm on my way to the Blogher '09 Conference soon, and if you're going, too, I would be so happy to meet you there. The Shutter Suite will be my home away from home, so look for me there. You'll know it's me because I'll be carrying one of these signature Meg Brothers bags.
"Claire" during the day:
Or this lovely pink clutch, which is a prototype of Meg's new original design, by night:
I'm also working on a long-distance celebration for my new book, Fortunes, either via conference call or a live video stream. If we do the video stream, you can communicate back via text chat in real time, which is interactive, but not voice-to-voice. I'll read a few selections from Fortunes and then we'll take some time to chat about the book, writing, creative work, or whatever's on your mind. So, what do you think--are you interested in an event like this? If so, does the video or the call appeal to you more? I'm curious to hear what you think.
I'm so grateful to be making connections with so many kind people these days. The messages that have come in with the book orders and after they arrive have been really, truly encouraging. I'm looking forward to many more connections to come.

I think an event like that for the book would be wonderful! And I so wish I were going to BlogHer - have a fabulous time. :)
I like the video stream chat idea the best.
Feedback on Fortunes: So, I devoured it when it first came connecting with the words in part. My best feedback now after spending more time with the themes that intersted me most is that this work encourages me to keep doing the things that are awkward when it comes to connection, to keep trying knowing the layers of circumstance may put static on the line of expression, and trust He sees it all and I am worthy of love and respect.
Love the bags! :) Where do you find your skirts, so nice!
So funny--I often buy my skirts from vendors on street corners.
i just ordered a set of your new Fortunes book and would love an interactive video. Have a good blogher weekend!
love the idea of a long distance celebration! conference call or video stream.
enjoy blogher...
cheers,
