ALL ABOUT THAT PLACE
I'll be highlighting Blogger Friends' Places
and
I'll be giving Book Event Tips
My favorite X blog is XCEPTIONAL!
XKCD - hilarious COMIX about science, math, and relationships! If you've never seen them, worth the XCURSION!
Here's an XAMPLE
And one XTRA
And don't XIT yet! I have XTENDED Book Event Tips!
Keep your XPECTATIONS reasonable.
I hate to burst your bubble, but don't XPECT to sell a case of books at an event. The only time I've sold that many was at my release parties with all my local friends, neighbors and family - which is awesome! And I'm very appreciative! But at festivals and events, the average is not high. And that's okay!
I'm not even XPECTING to sell as many at my future parties as I did at the first two - I'm not new and XCITING anymmore...
But at the last event I went to, I sold a lot more than I XPECTED! And that was XCITING! So the more we write, the more we sell, and the more fans we will have.

I've never seen that cartoon before. Cute stuff.
What a hilarious comic! And yes, it's very important to keep expectations reasonable, and celebrate the extra surprises. :)
XKCD is hilarious. You always have to remember to let your mouse hover and read the bonus they add.

I love XKCD!!
That is a cool blog. I always go into a book signing expected to sell zero, but some little bit of my heart always hopes for more.
Xcellent post - LOVE the comic - SO TRUE. I have had moments like those.
(Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog) :)
Funny comment!
I can't believe we made it to X!

I love that comic. I need to remember to not have high expectations. I do have a question, how many books should you bring to an event?
