I haven’t gotten to sit down at the computer today. I’ve spent the entire day doing publicity. Since part of it included photos so had to get the nails done. Also had to do make-up and hair. Vanity, huh? But when you’ve had people look you in the face and tell you they were disappointed, that you didn’t look special enough. I’ve had fans meet me in public on days when I’m just doing the normal thing, no make-up, hair back, just running errands, and the fans smile and are wildly enthusiastic to my face, then they get on the internet when they get home and they trash me. Say how bad I looked. I guess having them say it to my face is worse, but the internet travels farther. It’s like people don’t think I have any feelings to hurt just because I’m a little bit famous. I’ve also had people take pictures that were less than flattering, so I started taking more care with my appearance. But that care comes at a price of time. Time that isn’t writing. Time that could be used elsewhere. I’m really wondering if it’s a good use of time. Damned if you do, and damned if you don’t, I guess.
