Not much of a blog post today, because I’m off to my first book signing! Terror is clutching my heart, trying desperately to warn me: no one will come, no one will come… I’m ignoring her plaintive voice and, buoyed up by some good press in the local paper, valiantly heading off to the coffee shop and the book store with my pens, my cards, and a laptop running a continuous loop of this:
Even if the only people that show up are my BFF, Norma the coffee shop owner, and that guy that always brings the classifieds, I’ll have overcome my fear of failing by doing something instead. And that’s worth the price of a cup of coffee.
Also: Norma has tasty snacks.
p.s. The delightful LT Moore has a review of Life, Liberty, and Pursuit and an interview with me on her blog today. Thank you Leigh! That was just the boost I needed to face the crickets at my book signing! 🙂
No way! The line will stretch out the door. Keep this thought in mind: "People NEED my book. It will make their lives happier. And I want them to be happy."
You're the best, Susan! And lots of positive love in the comments section on our interview! When you get back, run over and check 'em out. LL&P is AWESOME!!! You rock~ :o) <3
Yay! That's so exciting, Susan. Enjoy every single minute of it! 🙂
Thanks everyone! They weren't lined out the door, but there was a steady stream of people – and not just for coffee! So, the morning went well and hopefully I won't lose my voice before the evening round. Thanks for all your encouraging words! 🙂
Yay for you and your awesome book!
You'll do great. I know it.
I'm so glad it went well. Congrats! 🙂
Can't wait to hear how it went! 🙂
ooh! I'm coming back to hear how it all went. I'm certain it was wonderful!
I am well and truly exhausted.
Thank you everyone for all your well wishes! The day was great. Now I must sleep. zzzz
You'll do great! Can't wait to hear about it. Wish I lived close enough to come!
Congrats!Wish I could've come!
