I head into Manhattan for a business lunch. I am frequently networking with magazine and book editors, many of whom I’ve known so long that they are also friends.

To keep my business going,I’m constantly sending out pitches,ideas for future articles. I need to read widely to make sure I’m not duplicating recent articles.
為保證我的事業(yè)持續(xù)發(fā)展,我會不斷地宣傳一些關(guān)于我未來文章的論點。我需要廣泛地閱讀以確保論點不會與近期其他文章“撞車”。

I return phone calls from the list I made earlier this morning. My assistant will continue working until 17:00 or so, but I often head into the city around 15:00 to meet with the chef, getting new recipes, asking questions and doing interviews for head note material.
