New Experience — I Can’t CONtain my excitement!
Attending Farpoint con this weekend will be a very new experience.
If you are reading this as it posts — I am in Hunt Valley, Maryland, attending the Farpoint con.
This is a sci-fi and fantasy convention featuring various vendors, performers, celebrities, discussion panels, and authors participating on those panels. Also, authors reading, selling, and signing books.
Guess what I am doing there?
I will be sitting on a couple of different panels, doing a reading from at least one of my books, and signing and selling books.
Despite a somewhat similar experience at the Steampunk World’s Faire several years ago, this is a new experience for me.
I can hardly CONtain my excitement (please note my terrible pun, now used twice). But it is that giddy feeling that’s a mix of genuine excitement, anticipation, and fear.
Because there is a truth that might — for many who know me — seem a little hard to believe.
I’m really quite shy
For real — despite the Meyers-Briggs test assertions that I am an extrovert — I’m not.
