Last night I gave a 45 minute presentation at the Bandon
Public Library as part of their monthly "Author Night" series. It was
an honor to be invited to speak. I'm happy to report that the event had a good
turn out. I also received a lot of good feedback on my presentation. Rather
than simply talking about my books, I also spent a few minutes discussing the
act of writing and my own personal writing journey.
Perhaps the best indication that the night was a success, I
received numerous queries during the Q and A session at the end of my
presentation. The questions were engaging, and I really enjoyed the group
discussion that followed.
I'd like to take a moment to thank the Bandon Library for
inviting me to come speak. In particular, I'd like to thank Maureen Haggerty
since she was my personal contact with the library. I'd also like to thank all
of the people that attended last night's event. I really appreciated their
support.
Writing and trying to get published is hard work. I feel so
validated when I get invited to events like the one last night. I also enjoy
meeting and chatting with my readers. Honestly, visiting with them is one of
the best parts of being a writer. I love receiving their feedback-- both good
and bad-- because I can then take that advice and apply it to my future work.
After all, writing is a practice. No matter how much time I spend
putting words on the page, I'll always know that I have room for improvement. I
can only hope that my writing will continue to improve and evolve as I continue
on my literary journey.
Thank you again!
