Well Saturday I got to meet my favorite author, Traci Hunter Abramson. I was so excited! Meeting her was awesome. In my life I have found having a good attitude and finding positive perspectives is the way to be happier. She is the definition of this. She told us so many stories and seemed to be so positive about everything and to not let anything bother her, i loved that. She seems to be the type of author that just loves to write, and write for her followers, not someone after great achievements or to be the best out there. Of course I actually think she is one of the best. She also started asking me questions, granted I was hanging out at her table, so it was nice to be asked about. Eventually she asked me what I wanted to do with my major, and I told her writing and how I first found I liked writing. She was so sweet and encouraged me. She said "when you get published"... which made me think she was jumping ahead a little. However, hearing her talk about not needing to be the best out there, because it is not a competition, made me rethink why I have not been writing. She mentioned how she writes for people to have fun, and not to try to sell a million copies, but hopefully more than the last book. I just loved her attitude and her personality. I am very glad I loved the person who wrote my favorite books, cause wouldn't stink if the author of the books I read was a brat? Well this is totally not the case here. I thoroughly enjoyed myself at the signing. I also left with a new way of looking at my writing. Thanks so much for coming to Glendale Traci, even though no one really showed up. I am really glad she came.
