I’m so excited!!! I have an appointment scheduled with an editor from Harlequin. I will meet with her in San Francisco at a conference I’ll attend. I can’t believe it either because I signed up so late. Oh well! Hopefully, it’s a meeting with Fate.

I know…a little dramatic but it’s the little things in life that release the butterflies into the air and into our stomachs. Even though I’ve already had the pleasure of meeting with an editor before, it’s still a nerve wracking experience. We (as in writers) all have this huge fear that editors or agents are these inhumane creatures from another planet when they’re actually great people. The woman I met with before was very nice, genuinely interested, and did a great job of putting me at ease. I hope this appointment coming up goes just as well.

Have you ever had an appointment, job interview, meeting with someone you’d never met and were nervous as all get out? What did you do to prepare?
