Being Late

I blogged last week about starting a race to promote my second Pet Rescue Mystery, THE MORE THE TERRIER, and about how much I’m trying to do. I even mentioned needing a nudge to remind me about one of my guest blogs because of the timing of when I’d first discussed it.

Last night, I nearly missed an event that had been planned for a while, a discussion at a library. Not that I really forgot about it. I’d just jotted it down on my schedule as being tonight instead.

I raced across the San Fernando Valley--if you can call driving in freeway rush hour traffic a race any more than the promotion I described as a race last week. Fortunately, I’d called ahead and although I was late some very nice readers waited for me. They had a lot of great questions, too.

Even so, I feel as if I didn’t learn my own lesson last week. I need to breathe a bit more and confirm that my calendar is accurate.

I definitely appreciate all the great people who read my work, help me schedule what I’m up to... and understand when I’m not entirely on time.

Does it bother you to be late? It absolutely bothers me!
