I've been thinking along these lines and its important to realize that failure happens to the best of us and its the reason why many folks never succeed. They give up too easily. I read somewhere failure is important otherwise you never learn anything and so what if the ist 2nd 3rd books fail. I expect mine will but guess what? Isaac Asimov wrote 500, he never complained cos like he was a smart man. So never give up folks!SpacerGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05575342869714342370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-32737689925668984452019-10-08T22:04:15.883-04:002019-10-08T22:04:15.883-04:00Have yet to have the chance to be a part of an aut...Have yet to have the chance to be a part of an author event. Although you felt like an outsider in your first one at least you went around introducing yourself. I would've sat around, twiddling my thumbs, too nervous and wary and overthink about what to do, to do the same. Yet all the while secretly hoping someone will come to me. And hoping I don't mess it up by saying the wrong thing or not knowing what to say.<br />Lidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185947128989933152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-65292333739772259462019-10-07T17:27:01.812-04:002019-10-07T17:27:01.812-04:00Every one was a newbie once. :)Every one was a newbie once. :)Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-24012580662953757622019-10-07T17:26:40.654-04:002019-10-07T17:26:40.654-04:00Yes, I've been getting to know a lot of local ...Yes, I've been getting to know a lot of local authors through groups/signings I've attended.
