I have an interview lined up this afternoon with one of the local newspapers to talk about my recent short story win. This will include photographs (gulp).
You’d think that I would be dedicating precious mental space to memorising the essence of the story in 20-words-or-less, or thinking up of a tactful, yet convincing and utterly captivating, plug for my upcoming book and its release.
No. That would make too much sense.
Instead, I’m standing in my wardrobe wondering what the hell to wear.
Right.
Well there goes my reputation as a Serious Artiste walking out the door. Goodbye!

I’m sure you’ll find a fantastic outfit and be a fabulous interviewee. Good luck and try to have some fun.

lol I can really relate to that – but hey, if there is a photo you will probably have more people pay attention to that than read the words associated (unfortunate reflection on society, hey?)

Ya know, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. You may be too young for this, but in the words of Billy Crystal as Ricardo Montalban on Saturday Night Live, “Eet ees better to LOOK good than to feel good.” And I’ve found that if I look good I feel pretty good after all. And I remember my little speech better.
