Mother Nature’s Not-So-Perfect Timing
This week has been an odd one. It has been going by at a snail’s pace, really, even though each day my head is filled with more details than I can manage. Which is why I almost forgot to type a blog post today.
I have been sidetracked with the details surrounding my first book event scheduled for this weekend. A book signing event. A celebration event. Or both. Whatever it is called really doesn’t matter. What matters is that it goes well. Or at least well enough so that I don’t feel like it was all for nothing.
If you write it, they will come…
Seriously, I know I worry too much. The event will go well and I’m sure I will enjoy myself and I certainly hope those who attend also enjoy themselves. There have just been a few issues here and there which keep me on my toes and make it difficult for me not to worry.
Thankfully, the books arrived with plenty of time to spare. So I crossed that off my list.
Flyers. Check.
Moving on…
Deciding on a venue for the event was easy. I did not choose a bookstore; unfortunately, we don’t have one in my home town. No, this event will be held at an outside courtyard, decked out with beautiful plants, metal sculptures, a coi pond (although they don’t seem to be moving much…they may be sleeping?), seating areas and a little shop in the back with garden and gift ideas. It was, at the time of my decision, the perfect spot for a nice gathering to celebrate my new book.

And now, the fretting really begins.
*Big, long, chest-filled-with-air sigh.*
For now.
So, the event will go on as planned.
Rain or shine.
