RJ Scott Is Ready For Atlanta – And She's Also Ready To Giveaway A Great Prize!

RJS logo large_smallThis year is my first GRL. The whole event has kind of snuck up on me. Don’t get me wrong, I have ordered pens, and little bags, and postcards, and we’ve talked about prizes as giveaways. I’ve spent time talking to Amber and Stephani about our storyteller panel. We even wrote a book each in a trilogy that will be ready for print just before GRL starts. But, it only seems like yesterday that I booked mine and hubby’s places and suddenly we’re a month away.

My nerves have started to kick in a little. The usual stuff, who will want to meet me anyway, what do I say to people when I see them… the concerns of a newbie I guess… I still live in that awkward bubble where half of me can’t believe I’m actually a writer and make a living from it, and the other half keeps smacking me around and demanding I get with the plan.

What I can’t wait to happen: Meeting the authors that I have been chatting to online, talking to the readers who have contacted me to say they want to meet me, quiet times with my friends. I can’t wait to spend time with people who love writing in the genre and where there is absolutely no judgement. I don’t think I will hear someone say to me, *why don’t you write normal stuff*, in the week I am in Atlanta!

What I’m dreading: f****d up sleep patterns, no one coming to my table, saying something stupid (very likely), and a few other things I won’t write down! Self doubt is part of the Writer’s condition… I read that on Tumblr and it’s probably one of the truest things I have read.

I’m excited, and nervous, then excited again. Luckily Texas 4 is taking up my brain power in the next few weeks so I have less thought-space to worry about things. Then, when T4 is off with the editor I will peer over the top of my writer’s cave and suddenly it will only be a couple of days to GRL. Then watch me freak out!

For anyone attending GRL, I kinda like hugs… just saying… :)

  2. I haven’t read anything of Ms. Scott’s books yet, I have to get moving on the list of books to be read before GR!. Thank you for the interview and the giveaway.

  3. This interview is great and I can’t believe you’re worried about people wanting to meet you since your work is some of the best I’ve read and that includes “normal”. People need to wake up and enjoy all books, not just what fits their little nook. That’s how I found M/M and you and I’ll never go back to the boring mess that some call normal.

  5. One of my favorite authors! RJ is an auto buy for me and I love her books yay! Ok, so who needs “normal”,,.it’s so overrated ;) I’ve only been reading M/M for a little over a year now and I don’t see me going back to anything else. Great post RJ..{{{hugs}}}

  7. As an eclectic reader I don’t understand people who read just one kind of story. That sounds just too boring for me. Can you throw my name in the hat for this giveaway please. Thank you.

  12. I’ll be at your table for sure, and I’m a newbie reader that is freaking out too. I probably won’t be able to get the huge grin off my face all week. So that’s how you’ll know me. I’ll look very out of place and shy and have a stupid grin on my face. Please enter me. I love hugs too.

  29. I can’t wait to meet you R.J. I have two comments First, I know what you mean about nerves. I too am worried about saying something stupid (wouldn’t be the first time for me) or wondering if people will like me. Second, what’s normal? Sounds kinda boring.

    Reply

  30. What’s not normal about what you write? Think I’ve read most of it, and it seems normal to me. Well except the extra ‘U’s in some words. :D So, my question is, hugs, big hugs, or bestest hugs?

    Reply

  33. I am sure you will have a wonderful time! I’m jealous – one of these days I want to go to GRL, but who knows if that will ever happen…

  54. No need for self doubt RJ your books speak for themselves. I’ve read everything you’ve written that I can get my little hands on. So, you can just count me in. I can’t wait for Texas 4. After reading The Christmas Throwaway I went in search of anything by RJ Scott keep of the good work.

  59. You well know you have a great following who simply adore you and your books. (Count me as one of them). Although we don’t take the time to chat online, I will never forget your friendliness and what you’ve done for me. You’ll be well received. I so wish I could go to GRL and give you a warm hug. I’m a hugger as well. I so wish I could afford buying all the books you’ve published, the words within is what keeps me sane, well, sort of. :P

  66. Oh no! I think you will be fine RJ! I am not able to go to GRL or I would promise to come to your table. I think you will enjoy it when you get there. Having read your books I am sure that you will get visitors and, all of us say stupid things from time to time so don’t worry. HAve fun.

  67. I used to look at RJ Scott as just a writer, but since reading all of her books I now see her as a friend. She has brought such joy to my life with larger than life characters and gripping storylines. She have brought reading back into my life and I will be forever grateful. I have to say from reading your early works that you have grown in so many different ways. Ive read most of your books 4 or 5 times and still love them, I cant wait for the next one to be published. Think I maybe your number one fan on fb. I do hope you have a wonderful time, you so do deserve it. Im sure you will knock them dead. Will miss you. (((Hugs Alway)))

  73. I would love to meet you. This is my first GRL also. I’m a writer but not far enough along with anything to think of publishing. That is a future dream.
