Be Careful What You Wish For
I've often heard this said by people whose most desired wish had come true. And then it turned out to be more than they had bargained for. I'm about to see just what getting my wish will mean to me. My manuscript "Voyage of Dreams" has been accepted by Celtic Cat Publishing in Knoxville for publication some time next year. Now I'm thinking 'Just what is this going to mean for me?' Am I going to have to do a lot of speaking to groups and maybe schools? The thought sometimes terrifies me. I'm not always that comfortable in front of a crowd of people who I don't know. But, I'm also thinking, 'Do you want to change your mind? Do you want to tell the publisher forget it?' The answer is No. But it still makes me nervous and thrilled at the same time. My husband tells me I'll be great - not to worry. Okay. But I think I'll do a lot of practicing between now and then. I love this problem.

Kath, you will be great! I used to be terrified to talk in front a any group, 2-3 or 33+, it didn't matter. But, a wise woman said to me, "What's the worse that can happen? They'll think your silly? Just remember, they have to put their underwear on just like you!"
ReplyDeleteYour writing is so beautiful...just think of the young writers you will inspire and you'll forget the nerves.
Love you!
