MisCon 30: From the Ashes

So, in a potential spurt of madness (or genius, but I'm leaning toward the former), I signed up to be a participating author at the local comic book/novel festival. I've attended for several years now and always had a great time, and decided that maybe I should step out of my comfort zone a little and join in as, well, ya know, an author :) I do have some fun books to share, and I know I should be doing some more promo, so this is what happened.

And wow, this is going to take some serious stepping out of my comfort zone... In looking over my schedule, I'll be talking about indie publishing, dialogue (gulp!), YA books, stories in general, and my personal favorite EUGENICS! Okay, maybe I shouldn't be as excited about that as I am :) Anyhow, this is going to be interesting as I totally don't see myself as having anything terribly great to share on most of these things (with, oddly enough, the exception of being able to talk about the science of making a better "race"--good grief, what does that say about me??). Anyhow, it's going to be super fun, though I'm already rather nervous about it.

Anyone have any good advice for these kinds of things? Done one yourself? Managed to not be super nervous? :)
