Yes I kept Amie's preamble in on purpose because I thought it was funny!
Today we're talking about locking in, getting stuff done, and thriving as creatives. Expect a discussion about how to treat ourselves and our bodies well, not striving for perfection, and how to go from small steps to big goals.
TOUR THINGS:
We have LOCKED IN two bookshops in Brooklyn in the evenings of the 11th and 13th of March, so if you're in the NYC area, please save those dates. Plus we'll be in Philly on the 12th also in book stores. More to come as well as official links to the events.
We'll be hitting the UK hard after getting home on the 18th. So expect AT LEAST a London event and an event in the South Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire area.
Berlin will be something between the 31st of March and the 3rd of April. Amsterdam probably either the 4th or the 5th of April.
Sydney and Melbourne will happen some time between the 9th and the 23rd of April.
Sorry we can't give you more info. We are organising most of this ourselves and there are lots of balls in the air as we have to liase with each book shop individually.
We are excited though!
