I attended the Local Author Event hosted by the St. Charles Library this evening! I have to say it was an amazing experience where I had the honor of meeting other local authors and getting a chance to sign books for some readers.
    The moment I stepped into the event room I was overwhelmed with one hundred other authors setting up their booths. I felt so small next to all of these accomplished writers and I think that is important. It is important to be humbled by others success and it is also important to embrace that success.
     I quickly set up my booth and prepared myself to melt into the background but I didn't. Instead I greeted the readers that ventured from booth to booth and made connections with local authors. Originally, I had felt so small but I grew into my confidence the moment I got to my booth because even though I am young, I am an author on my way to success.
