Speech Surprises
Last Saturday, I gave a speech to the Carroll County chapter of the Maryland Writers' Association. Several things happened that surprised me:
1. I have a toy stuffed loon that gives a loon call. I made sure it worked the day before the speech. But when I held it up at a dramatic moment and squeezed...nothing! Oh, well. Bound to happen sooner or later.
2. My husband was very helpful. Not only did he provide advice about e-publishing (he was indispensable when I e-published my works), he also juggled, which entertained an adorable baby who was there and very well behaved.
3. I got to keep the posters publicizing my speech, which have my picture on them. One is vinyl and the right size for a tablecloth. I'm thinking of using it for a festive Thanksgiving dinner!
