To live it or to write it

Mask from Sleep No More

The motto on my theatre, travel, food, dance website is "write it, read it, live it." Actually it should probably read "I live it, write it...you read it".

The flaw in this is that I spend so much time "living it" that my time for writing is limited. Hence my great intentions on this latest New York trip to keep up with my food and theater reviews each day. Not possible- although I did manage to upload my photos, edit  those I want to use, and create the post for several of the stories.

I also posted reviews of Inakaya, a Japanese sushi and Robata restaurant,  Alobar, a restaurant in Long Island City where we had charcuterie and cheeses ... and Sleep No More,  one of the hottest theater tickets in town and a most unusual theater experience. There are many more reviews to come as I saw 7 plays and ate in innumerable good restaurants ... and managed not to gain a pound.  How is that for impressive!

Now I am back home, my suitcase is emptied, my laundry done... and today I plan to blitz write. I entered AtJill'sReviews for the April A to Z challenge - thanks to a reminder from my friend Jenny of Pearson Report.

I am interested to hear from other writers how you manage the "live it" versus "write it" dilemma.

Off to the Big Apple

We Vancouverites like to think that our weather is balmy compared to the East Coast- but how ironic that it is actually snowing here while my destination, New York, seems to be sunny and clear.  I wonder if the incoming AC flight from New York will be delayed. Currently my flight is showing an on-time departure so maybe not.

I am looking forward to seeing a total of 7 theatrical performances during this visit - some of which are unconventional forms of theatre.  Check out reviewfromthehouse.com in the Theatre section for descriptions over the next week.
So far I will also be visiting 4 restaurants that I have not previously reviewed, and we will be making more selections on the fly, so to speak, and those reviews will be found in the Sipping and Supping section of the website.

My revamped website is now on-line although minor adjustments are pending - like captions and picture enlargements. Let me know what you think of the new look.
