So, part of my Act1 was following the author Patrick Rothfuss online. (I tried to come up with a less creepy way to phrase that, but ya'll will understand ^_^) It so happens that he was planning a trip through the area where I live and was looking for places to have readings or signings.
I run a writing group at my university, and I emailed him to see if we could sponsor a reading for him. AND HE WROTE BACK! I do know very well that authors are normal people too, but it was really neat to get a response. He already had an event tentatively in place close by, so he won't be at my university, but I will be driving up to Cleveland to hear him speak on the 24th.
I also sent him a link to EVOKE and my post about him (he responded to that too). I hope to get a chance to talk to him about it (and about writing!)
Fingers crossed!
