The family and I were on vacation. More about that on Monday...<br /><br />Marissa - I'm sure you'll do fine. Once you done a few, the nerves go away.<br /><br />Adriana - That's kind of why I posted this, to encourage others. I look forward to your meet & greet posts.<br /><br />Jenny - Thanks. Fridays can be the worst sometimes and that's what happened. At a certain point I just gave up the notion of eating. I could have forced it in, but in the end just said no. It wasn't the first time and it won't be the last; sad to say.<br /><br />Thanks, my friends.<br /><br />-JimmyJames Garcia Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559119178720751963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232628723576241448.post-83502190817971987942011-07-28T23:21:20.770-07:002011-07-28T23:21:20.770-07:00Why no lunch?

I did a meet and greet for my local library two years ago along with some other local wirters and had such a blast. (Even though I was so nervous I was shaking and all I had to pitch was an anthology) I think it is so important to support libraries and show love for the hometown whenever possible. I can't wait to do this with a book that is completely my own.

It's so cool that you're doing these things.

I certainly did not post this to boast or show off, but simply to encourage others. for those who have done these sort of events already, I would certainly welcome any advice. Much of what I have been doing from the very start is attempt to learn as I go, whether by experience or assistance from great folks like you.<br /><br />-JimmyJames Garcia Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559119178720751963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232628723576241448.post-69506690309381933132011-07-26T14:48:45.227-07:002011-07-26T14:48:45.227-07:00My Fridays are usually good because that means I&#...My Fridays are usually good because that means I'm done with the week. It's Mondays I don't like. And Tuesdays . . . Wendesdays . . .<br /><br />Jimmy, I had one public speaking engagement, and I followed an WWII vet and was I nervous. But, like you, I didn't take any notes, I just introduced myself and told them of my struggle to become a published author. I'm sure you did wonderfully!<br />I've got your book on my table and can't wait to read it! The first page was great!Lorelei Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03294047277447613989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232628723576241448.post-24293650447937957242011-07-26T02:53:52.205-07:002011-07-26T02:53:52.205-07:00Aggh.
