I will be roaming New York City for most of the day on Monday. Strictly speaking, I am in town to attend the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) annual reception, which takes place Monday evening at a fancy penthouse in Manhattan. But it turns out I was able to do a few other things as well.

For instance, I was contacted by some folks at Forbes to do an interview on productivity for a series they are doing on the subject. They asked if I was going to be in New York City any time soon, and I said, well, actually… So I’m being interviewed there on Monday morning.

I’m having dinner with an editor¹ on Monday evening. In between, I’ll be wandering about, looking for quiet places to sit and get some writing done. Or maybe just checking out the city. It’s been a while since I last wandered about Manhattan.

I am there in my capacity as a writer and technology blogger, and I think that’s a pretty cool reason to be in New York City for a day. Maybe not quite as good as attending a Yankees playoff game, but I’ll take it.
