I've been preparing mentally, this past week, for the Meet the Author event that occurred yesterday. It went well, a few people came by and bought a few books. I met more people that just spoke about everything from horror movies to books that I like. Still, I felt so positive about being able to feel comfortable speaking to people.

I think in meeting people, over the years I have started to have a very difficult time in speaking to new people. In my past, I could open up a conversation and not feel strange. These days, I always feel strange in any setting. I am quiet and withdrawn in many situations, but I used to have a skill that made me feel comfortable in groups.

So, I will move forward. I hope to have more events and the opportunity to meet new readers!
