Arg and Ugh.

And now the anxiety about tomorrow night's reading is hitting me full force...

Sorry, can't help you. My knees knock every time.

I hope I can make it to one of your readings someday! I don't think I'll be at this one because it's date night, and we've rescheduled the last several dates so I want to keep this one.

It doesn't help that I don't like the sound of my own voice.

Completely understandable. Perhaps at Minicon or CONvergence in 2009.

You will be awesome.

As long as I don't, you know, pass-out or anything.

I feel the same way about my readings. I also hate my own voice.

It's funny -- you have a perfectly lovely voice and I can't imagine why you don't like it, and people say the same thing to me.

You are the man.
Don't forget that.

I don't know why I'm so nervous about this. I've done dozens of readings, but reading at DreamHaven books always gives me jitters.

I've decided I'm going to rehearse my reading once this morning, and then not think about it for the rest of the day.

You'll do great! I've heard you read before at CONvergence, and it was wonderful!
