It's both hilarious and moving to read Eleanor's most ungraceful attempts at self-improvement. The mantra's first sentence is the title of Semple's novel, today will be different. She's decided to get her life together and has created a mantra to say to herself when she wakes up in the morning. Timby's unusual name was suggested by an autocorrect error on Eleanor's iPhone.
She's also worried she's not romantic enough with her husband, or present enough with their son Timby. That was many years ago, and now, having made no progress, she's dodging calls from her editor. She was also nominated for a prestigious graphic novel award that led to a book contract. Eleanor is a middle-aged mother, who earlier in life had success as the animation director for a popular TV show. Our guest, Maria Semple, has written a new comedic novel that takes place on one day in the life of its main character, Eleanor Flood.
