I made it through my panel!
Before going, I’d debated what I wanted to wear. I could wear a skirt and blouse, but would that really be true to my style? Yes, that’s what I wear 5 days out of the week to work, but the air of a programmer is a bit different from the air of a fantasy novelist whose bio confesses to be a squirrel. (It’s true, btw.)
So, I donned my Shark Unstealthiest Ninja shirt, pulled on my skinny jeans, and grabbed a zip-up hoodie–my typical book-event attire.
Needless to say, I didn’t quite fit in with the rest of the panel. They were cool, practiced professionals, as to be expected from organizations like the Idaho Writers Guild, The Cabin, Rediscovered Books, and the Boise Public Library. But the rep from the IWG said I was merely representing my genre.
