I remember when I went to my first book signing. I went all alone. I didn't have anyone to go with. So I was really nervous. But I met some people in line and just went in. I feel like there is no reason to not do something alone and miss it if you really want to do it. Of course I didn't want to go alone.. but I did it and am so glad I did.

I think my saving grace was that for the first 40 minutes everyone was just standing around talking and then there was the signing. If I'd just had to walk up to him and have him sign my book I would have done what I normally do in situations when I have to talk when I'm nervous which is to nearly choke on my own spit and then laugh inappropriately loud.Library Educatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441826320547182219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540649138800704991.post-68886646782854469682014-08-05T22:39:03.734-05:002014-08-05T22:39:03.734-05:00That sounds like a lot of fun!

I love you and your books!" all stalker-ish and they would think I was a nutcase. Also, way to go handing out your blogger card!

I've only been to one author event - it was Jenny Lawson - 'The Bloggess' I didn't get tickets for the reading - sold out, but she was very nice at the signing - I wrote about it somewhere on the blog.<br /><br />I don't think it was tacky to give him the blog card - you're spot on, it was informative! :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658227387582528719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540649138800704991.post-34274426903816737392014-08-05T08:33:21.056-05:002014-08-05T08:33:21.056-05:00Thank you!

Most, most, most authors will only be too glad to pose for pictures with fans- but I understand you were feeling a bit nervous since no one else was asking. <br /><br />And I LOVED that you gave your bloggy info- way to go! I used to feel too shy to mention it much, but not anymore :) So yay for you!
