Being A Writer

Being a writer takes a lot of dedication and hard work. Writing's not for everyone and everyone's not a writer-- and sometimes, as a writer, I feel it's not even for me. But I love to write, and it's my passion, and has been since I learned to read. They say a writer should write at least an hour every day. I try too most days, but sometimes, long days seem to linger at work, and I'm just too exhausted to even open my lap-top by the time I get home. Thoughts are always flowing, characters; always making their way into my brain and new ways to intrigue my readers is always just a step behind. But more than, characters, ideas, lap-tops, or passion; you have to write, write and write some more. And I don't think that there is an author out there, that wouldn't agree with the latter of all the others mentioned.

Preparation Before A Book Signing

The first thing that comes to mind before going out there; anxious and ready to sign books for anticipated readers:is to be very ready. Every author may have a certain way of preparing themselves, and I am one of them. I've learned by going to other great book signings, that there is much to do before that big day--like not forgetting to bring plenty of pens,and chilled water to get you through those long hours.Oh, yes, the books; and if you've ordered them from your publisher, be sure you have them before the day of the event. Maybe some autograph stickers for your well-deserved readers, and some good conversation. But whatever you chose to do at your book signing...plan, plan, plan.  ;)

"An Enjoyable Book Signing"

I went to a book signing on Saturday which was held at Barnes & Noble. I had the honor of meeting Shannon Hammer, author of ' The Positive Portions' A Food and Fitness journal
,and it was a pleasure to talk with her. I think it also helped with the jitters I was building in my head about book signings...lol. She set the bar...But to talk with her, was like talking to a dear friend that I'd known all my life. it was awesome. I bought her book and she signed it for me... ;)

I am so overjoyed with all of those who have read my book and especially those who have took the time out to share their thoughts about my book. To read the reviews are so needed. I can't thank you guys enough for the support and I hope I can continue to keep you anxious and ready for more...
