Anna, I'm so glad the FCB event went well. I enjoyed doing our two book launches together because I learned so much about your side of our creation of PRISCILLA AND THE HOLLYHOCKS. And at the Jamaiacaway Books event when with a new slick-paged book, I skipped the pages that made the whole story make sense, I looked to you and Yolanda. Had I gone crazy or had I missed a page? You two of course were the ones that knew the book as well as I did. So I had to admit my mistake and do some explaining. I learned several things from that mistake and the rest of my presentations have gone better because I had to improvise with the glitch.<BR/><BR/>AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-30430918522148631152008-04-17T06:48:00.000-04:002008-04-17T06:48:00.000-04:00Hooray!

That's the worse part, becuase once I get talking I'm fine. I think once you do it enough you gain confidence and realize there's really nothing to worry about.<BR/><BR/>I'm really looking forward to it, too! I feel honored to be invited.<BR/><BR/>See you soon!Daniel Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11256892763009705442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-70491266509317582072008-04-15T16:15:00.000-04:002008-04-15T16:15:00.000-04:00Hi Daniel-Its funny, people are usually surprised ...Hi Daniel-<BR/><BR/>Its funny, people are usually surprised when I tell them I have stage fright- really once I'm talking I'm totally fine, its just beforehand that I get a lot of anxiety. But it really is changing, which is encouraging.<BR/><BR/>Elaine mentioned you'll be speaking at the North Shore Council this fall- looking forward to it!Anna Alterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16158290821419472185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-54605157365506048432008-04-15T16:05:00.000-04:002008-04-15T16:05:00.000-04:00I'm very surprised you would ever be terrified, An...I'm very surprised you would ever be terrified, Anna. When you spoke in Newburyport for the Robert Snow author event, I envied how relaxed and charming you were. I'm always terrified when it comes to speaking to adults, but with children I am thoroughly relaxed and really enjoy myself. I'm glad you did so well.Daniel Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11256892763009705442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-24993362407973465592008-04-15T12:11:00.000-04:002008-04-15T12:11:00.000-04:00Well let a mother say, good for you, Anna.
