Still off galavanting on the Blizzard Tour, but I wanted to post some pics from my first school visit!
I dropped by my old high school and talked to English classes (top and bottom pics) as well as an assembly of 4th-8th graders (which, yeah, totally did not recommend my book to the 4th graders, but I told them about publishing and the process and all the fun technical stuff).
All in all, I talked to about 200+ kids today, and I SURVIVED. Teenage Me would be so proud, especially of that assembly. I’m pleased to say I not only spoke clearly to all those crazy kids, but I WASN’T EVEN NERVOUS.

It was either because I’m just a really professional, together ahhhhhdult type person, or I was so exhausted from being in six different cities in the past few days that I was numb to all anxiety.
We’re gonna go with the “professional adult” reason.
