I’m nervous.  And excited.  Friday, as in tomorrow, I get to do my very first ever public reading of my work.  I’ve stood before classes of 20-30 students and taught.  I’ve sold my work and it’s been read by more than just sympathetic family and friends – and I’ve gotten compliments on it too.  But still, the thought of standing before strangers and reading my creative work has got my mouth all dry.  Seriously, anyone got a drink of water out there? 

But I’m going to do it.  And I’m going to do my very best to rock the house.  Because I’m really hoping that this will be the first of many. 

If you happen to be at Balticon, which I really encourage since it’s an awesome con, come on by Salon D at 5 pm on Friday, 5/28.  I’ll be reading. 

P.S. – Yes, the Pocket Program says Vonnie Winslow Crist for that timeslot, but she’s my fellow Writer Goddess and she’s very generously sharing her timeslot.  Besides being a wonderful critiquer and giving friend, she’s also a wonderful writer.  So, stop by and give us a listen.
