At least at the library I can count of a few of my co-workers coming out of solidarity, and some bored children wandering in by accident.Rebecca M.

Big Al does occasionally apologize to the skunks for using them as a metaphor for evil. <br /><br />As for being a problem...you remind me that at a friend's wedding long, long ago, her aunt played "How do you solve a problem like Maria" :DRebecca M.

Does it ever get any easier? Book events especially freak me out. I've sat through too many at this point where very few people show up. Now I'm very selective about what I do. Mostly book fairs and group signings. I agreed to do a group event recently and it wasn't even a group event. It just sounded like it was going to be. Two people spoke to me the whole time I was sitting there. It was painful!Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52364159500107393.post-68726538419689496682016-11-02T12:37:19.897-07:002016-11-02T12:37:19.897-07:00I was considering writing a really horrid review h...I was considering writing a really horrid review here, just so as to ensure you didn't get any more. But apart from complaining that it was demeaning to Peggies everywhere to be considered as a problem, or having a problem, and demeaning to skunks to put them in a corner with all these other folk, and also complaining that it was written in a style that is unbecoming to 18th century literature, I couldn't think of anything even mildly horrid to say.<br />But at least now you're prepared.Jemima Petthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110647375899927233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52364159500107393.post-4332954240362523492016-11-02T08:22:42.758-07:002016-11-02T08:22:42.758-07:00I know that over-active imagination has made it ha...I know that over-active imagination has made it harder to be the free-range parent I have been determined to be. Too easy to imagine everything that can go wrong. I'm actually rather proud of how I've overcome it in parenting; maybe I can learn to release a book with a similar stoicism!Rebecca M.
