The Truth About Writing
This morning I was up bright and early and down at my local bookstore (Coho Books) to present a seminar titled The Truth About Writing. Coho Books is a warm and charming bookstore, but it isn't huge. So when the owners put a press release in the local paper, advertising the event, they advised people to phone early and reserve a spot as space was limited. Apparently, the phone rang off the hook, because the seminar filled up quickly and there was a waiting list hoping for cancellations. Needless to say we had a full house.
The event was scheduled from 9 am to 11 am. I was only going to speak for about an hour and then field questions -- and hopefully sign some books. But one thing led to another, and I ended up talking the whole two hours. The following Q & A period lasted another 25 minutes. THEN people purchased my books and I signed them.
The time positively flew by. I still can't believe I spoke for the entire two hours. Talk about long-winded! (Who knew I knew enough to fill that length of time?!)
I obviously had a fabulous time. I hope everyone else did too.
