I do enjoy getting out and talking to people after I've been cooped up with a deadline; but I find that, as I get older, I really love my private time more and more. So it's tougher than it was for me 10 years ago. I think the most important thing is believing in what you've written. Then when you talk about it, your passion shines through. Good luck with the new book!!!Susan McBridehttp://SusanMcBride.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-3259043187242365742010-11-26T11:53:10.116-05:002010-11-26T11:53:10.116-05:00I hear you on all three of these issues, Rachel! P...I hear you on all three of these issues, Rachel! Particularly book promotion . . . when I do a booksigning I absolutely refuse to chase the customers around. I think the bookstore staff appreciates that, but my main reason is the many times I've walked into a bookstore and discovered an author seated near the entrance. I didn't know he or she would be there, and I don't want to give them false hope by engaging them in conversation. So I avoid eye contact and go about my business--and when I'm the author doing the signing I remember that reaction and leave the no-eye-contact customers alone. Honestly, I consider it good manners.Vincent H.

I whispered (or so I thought) to my co-worker and said "his zipper is opened" just as he walked by. He stopped, smiled, looked down, zipped up and said "thank you." The problem was he was commando.Druhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978384022143035332noreply@blogger.com
