I admit my greatest joy is working on a new manuscript. I treasure every step of creating characters, finding their voice, and bringing life to the page. For me, after I have done my work for the day, I walk and become inspired all over again.
Yesterday, the weather was sunny and bright with the crisp wind guiding me to Lafayette Street in Lower Manhattan. My traveling feet entered in some different doors of the brisk breeze from the Mediterranean, Scandinavian, Vietnamese and vegan cuisines in the SoHo neighborhood. The restaurants are casually sleek with much warm-hearted staff, amidst the cheerful faces and passersby.
My five gems are:
