Nonetheless, we did most of our shopping online this year. As you say, it was great to have those gifts delivered, hassle-free, to our door.<br /><br />Best seasons greetings to all!<br /><br />Peter Green<br />Fatal Designs<br />Crimes of Design<br />Ben's WAr withthe U.

I hadn't thought that reading a passage aloud made an author uncomfortable because it was "showing off." That's a new twist. I second your advice to practice, practice, practice, and yes, in private.

I've done a bit of author-reading coaching, and when at the beginning, we discuss what makes them uncomfortable, a surprising number have confessed to feeling that they are "showing off" by making a good story sound like a, well, good story. They realize it's not rational, but it affects their performance. I'd advise authors to consider (in private, where no one has to see you blush) whether that applies. <br />Sheila Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16580800243505309470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105320592980752653.post-4641607857544070432015-12-04T12:16:21.026-05:002015-12-04T12:16:21.026-05:00Jacuie, that's a good point about making eye c...Jacuie, that's a good point about making eye contact. Thanks for adding that. I thought at first that business cards were passé but I have found them useful for jotting down information for people. They get the phone number or a book title or the name of a conference, and they get information on me, which I hope will lead to a book sale.<br /><br />Yes, Maddy, a shower is a good idea, especially if you've been outside gardening or running or whatever. Perhaps I should go back to even more basics.<br /><br />Thanks to all of you, Jacquie, Maddy, Edith, and Pam, for commenting.Susan Oleksiwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693057997469296068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105320592980752653.post-41262261891990859502015-12-04T11:55:00.082-05:002015-12-04T11:55:00.082-05:00Great post, very informative.

It's important to make eye contact with the audience as well. I've never had a business card made up but think it's a very good idea.Jacqueline Seewaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177500620940251009noreply@blogger.com
