Ok since I booked WDC I figured it was now time tell people outside of my immediate family about what I was doing. Now anytime someone asked “hey what have you been up to?” I didn’t just start rambling on about my book and NYC!! I think some people would have looked at me as a little crazy! But I did however ease it into the conversation with some of my cousins at Thanksgiving. It was fun and exciting to actually be talking about my work. For some reason I had always been ashamed, like I wasn’t good enough to write a book, people might make fun of me. But what this writing process has shown me, is that I completed something many people might think about doing, and I actually did it!
Telling people worked out well. Last week one of the cousin’s girlfriends I had told saw an event at a bookstore in New Orleans . She immediately thought of me and shot me an email. She thought it would be good practice for New York . I was extremely touched that she thought of me. I guess it made me feel as she took me and what I was doing serious. The event is called Pitchapalooza and it is on January 12th!!
Yea it is a scary thing; I will have one minute in front of agents to pitch my book! Oh yea and everyone will be in the room. I am looking at this solely as practice for New York . This will hopefully help with my nerves. Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit!
Ok no more procrastinating I have to start my pitch! I have no clue where to begin!!
