It really is about breathing and holding the insecurity monster at bay, isn't it? <br /><br />Dawn -- I hope to meet you there! <br /><br />Melissa -- I agree about the love-hate. Glad to know others who were nervous did well. I, too, have fallen behind on blog reading and commenting. I'll get in touch re: mutual marketing. ;-)<br /><br />Krystal -- Find me, Krystal. We can be nervous together!! We'll definitely find the fun.<br /><br />Natasha -- Yeah! Someone else to hang out with. So understand the mom-ness. ;-)<br /><br />Christina -- I did grab a buddy (one I love and am so looking forward to meeting in person) to go with, so I will have a comfort zone.<br /><br />Thanks to all for stopping by and commenting.Tia Bachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336780518125138789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-23945138227768455712014-04-04T22:12:10.821-04:002014-04-04T22:12:10.821-04:00I'd say bring a friend. Its the easiest way. O...I'd say bring a friend. Its the easiest way. Otherwise, I've got nothing. I'm scared of crowds and I'm going to a Writer's Rally next weekend and I'm nervous too. I've been to it before and I still get panick-y. Breath deep and own how brave you are to go! Wish I had better advice :)Christina Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760329784127319240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-61972134759601343762014-04-04T10:53:38.736-04:002014-04-04T10:53:38.736-04:00Hi Tia!

I think becoming a mom knocked some of the 'fun' out of me. Now, I'm all about 'is it safe' and 'is it practical.'<br /><br />Remember, we are all just regular people. I attended UTOPYA last year. You couldn't ask for a more welcoming group of people.<br /><br />See you in June!<br /><br />p.s. Thanks for the shout out Melissa!Natasha Hanovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16131760295282222691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-55420391310242465042014-04-03T17:45:02.845-04:002014-04-03T17:45:02.845-04:00I signed up and now I almost wish I hadn't. I&...I signed up and now I almost wish I hadn't. I'm nervous, too. On one hand, you're a writer and we're all a little weird and normal and crazy at the same time. You'll be around your own kind this summer! And that's exciting. On the other hand, when I think about myself, I'm scared to death. I feel like a fraud most of the time, I have no books out, I'm quite socially awkward, and I'm going all by myself. I feel like everyone going already has a buddy to meet up with and it'll be painful and awful. <br /><br />I understand. One thing I know for certain though, paranormal writers are fun, fun people. So how can we not have fun?krystal janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02115542477066959046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-53819070530683558512014-04-03T16:26:46.508-04:002014-04-03T16:26:46.508-04:00I'd be nervous, too.

I've seen several posts by authors lately (Natasha Hanova, Julie Flanders, Loni Townsend)--those who were nervous about things like this--and everything went swimmingly well for them.<br /><br />It's good to 'see' you again. The push to publish has kept me from making the blog rounds like I used to. Boo-hiss. :P<br /><br />I just sent my ms off to the formatter. If you want to swap blog promo for our upcoming releases, look me up. :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516493326566981116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-79310475019442815262014-04-03T15:26:09.896-04:002014-04-03T15:26:09.896-04:00I hoped to attend UtopYA last year and was unable ...I hoped to attend UtopYA last year and was unable to.

Once you're there, just be yourself; I'm sure everyone will find you to be interesting and 'cool'. :) Don't let self-doubt eat away at your confidence. I know sometimes it's easier said than done, but once you're in the midst of fellow writers, I'm sure you'll find many that felt the same way you feel right now. Good luck to you.
