Tomorrow is the biggest event in my writing career. I'll be reading from my book from 7-8 pm at the Mineshaft Tavern. Everything has come together very well and I think it will be a great night. Nonetheless, I'll probably need a wee little nip of courage before I hit the stage. I've never read before a large live audience before. I hope too many people aren't out on the porch smoking while I'm doing my thing.
Great local press and enthusiastic boosters have grooved a nice fastball over the plate. I just need to crush it.
