I got an email from Jonny the other day about publicity for my book. This scares me. But what scares me more is that we have a slot in New Forms 1 where I will be expected to stand up and read some poems or liturgies.
Now, anyone who knows me knows that I DO NOT read things that I have written. I give them to other people to read. I am fine reading from a script, or even blagging around a topic but I do not read what I've written. I get all self concious and embarrased and just generally hate it.
I suspect I'll be bad at the whole publicity thing. I suppose I want people to buy my book because it gets me money. But I don't want people to buy my book because then they might read it...
This is all much more complicated than I first thought.
