Do I see the light at the end of the NaNoPIEMo tunnel? Not sure I do yet. Maybe there’s a tiny shimmer around the next bend. Just three more pies after today. That’s still three more days of time and energy on pie.
Today’s pie is Jumble Berry. I’ll be at Julie’s Beach Life boutique in Del Mar to auction this one off, and to meet some folks in person, and to sell some books, I hope. I hope for all of that. In-person events are scary to me. I am always happy if just two people show up. Sometimes I’m surprised at how many people show up, and I feel loved. Other times it’s like a void. So I always go nervous and using all my positive powers to stay chipper and be happy no matter how the whole show goes.
It seems to me that most people get nervous before a crowd. I get nervous before just one or two people. It’s not the people in either case, it’s the energy from enthusiasm.
But I absolutely love Del Mar. I used to live there many life times ago. When I left I knew I would mourn it for the rest of my absence. I do. I would live there again in a heart beat. So I’m elated to be heading that way. To be near the beach is my happy place. Maybe there’s a beach walk at the end of today’s tunnel.
I hope you’ll come and join me! That way there will be more than me and the store owner and a stack of books.
