- My life-long and nonsensical aversion to handbags might make me seem like a rube.
- The tailor took in my Tuesday night skirt perhaps just a teensy bit too far. I can sit down and walk, and it looks good, though, so that's the most important? Eating is totally optional.
- What if I lose my ID in Chicago, and then I can't go to Boston or NYC?
- The other authors in the group are significantly younger than I am, and almost certainly cooler.
- Anything could happen when it's my turn to speak.
- I'm meeting a lot of new people. Some of them know me from the phone, where I'm usually at my best. As Dan likes to say, "Are you going to be normal, or are you going to be yourself?" There's no telling in advance. Some version of me just pops out, and there's nothing I can do.
- The usual things like deodorant failures, falling, and GPS snafus. And, also not understanding fashion, even though I've had expert coaching.
But, do you know what? I don't even care about all of these things because my elation about this trip is going to overpower all of my nerves. I wrote a book and some other people want to hear about it! And, it's my first business trip during which I will not either have to share a hotel room or hotel bed, so no matter what else happens, I'm already #winning.

OMG, you got your own hotel room???
that's a win for sure.
But I wanted to hear more about that trip. Was it awesome?
