Well, I did my first book reading last night. I think it went well enough, though on the way home last night I couldn't help but think I should've been more professional than I was. Dr. Donahoo noted that I was too hard on myself, which is accurate; the result of being so is a lot, possibly an excess, of self-deprecating humor, which a lot of people might take the wrong way. I don't know why I do it, but I know I do need to lay off. My writing's not as bad as I make it sound.

Funny how one night can stir up so many ideas.
