Mother on the Orient Express: The Update

Look, I went through a redesign and then I was in the dictionary and then I was really busy with multiple pitches and if I finish this script I’ve got due in the next couple of days I’ll have turned in a pilot script, a manuscript and a screenplay all in the past six weeks. So I don’t want to hear it! My fingers have been typing! And I still updated here! What do you people want from me?!

But: I wanted you to know that I’m about to start working on the next installment of Mother on the Orient Express. Some of you are new readers since the last time I wrote about it, so I figured I’d catch you up/prep you with links. We are reaching this trip’s one-year anniversary, which blows my mind. Where did this year go?

Okay, so here’s where I announced what was happening: “Got My Bags, Got My Reservations…”

And then here’s the story of the trip so far:

Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part Four
Part Five

More to come. Thanks for being so patient. I should have Part Six up around the top of next week. I promise you this: the story does not disappoint.

    Yay! I was hoping you wouldn’t leave us hanging. I love these stories so much.

    Oh good!… I feared you’d had second thoughts about posting the rest of the travelog, it being so personal and all. But what a wonderful story so far, so you really must wrap it up with the Paris leg of the tour! Can’t wait!

    Just love the Orient Express such an elegant and refined train – an oasis in a brash world.

    Hi! I am a new reader, just read all the Mother on the Orient Express posts yesterday. I was in Venice once, 8 years ago. Can’t stop thinking about how magical it is and I can’t wait to get back there and spend more time getting lost. Very much looking forward to reading the next installment of your trip – what an amazing gift and adventure to have with your mom.
