Happy Halloween friends. I hope those of you who celebrate it had a blast this weekend: ate just enough candy, made the perfect number of bad decisions. I love Halloween and I tend to get really into it (more about that here) so naturally I went big.
For my costume this year I was half black swan, half white swan. It seemed like the way to go since I've spent so much time either dancing or feeling insane this year (not homicidal though, don't worry). The costume was a hit.
I kept in character by keeping my toes turned out and oscillating between being sweet and evil on Saturday night. I had a little Black Swan moment when some nice man asked me what my novel is about.
'Ugh," I said, shutting it down 'can we talk about something else?'
Now if those aren't good self-promotional skills, I don't know what.
Does anyone like discussing their book at parties? I'm fine writing about the book, or talking about it when I'm prepared but off the cuff at a party with a stranger? I'd rather read him my teenage diary.
How do you feel when people ask you that question?
i hate talking in general. especially about my books. i'm reading a piece tomorrow night. out loud. in public. can't wait to see what happens...
