Appearing Tomorrow!
Got an email on Wednesday saying how happy the West Branch, MI, library is that I am coming on Saturday from 10:00-2:00 for their annual Author Day. Problem: I'd forgotten all about it.
Luckily, I hadn't booked the day somewhere else, and I can and will make it to West Branch. But it scares me that I remember getting their request and saying I would come and then I somehow failed to write it on my calendar.
Of course it's overload. There is so much to do these days with promotion that every writer needs a publicist , a secretary, or even a teenager with computer skills. But there's no money for that, so we struggle along alone, keeping track of dates, books sold, manuscripts submitted, agents queried, libraries contacted, donations made, all the while trying to have somewhat normal lives.
Oh, and we need to be writing books, as well.
