It was my first ever talk, and I was a bit nervous. But I got through it, and at the end the woman in charge asked for if there were any questions.
Silence.
The audience looked very glum.
'Questions? Has anyone got any questions for Sarah?' Her smile started to slip. It was obviously the first time EVER there had been no questions.
Silence.
'Anybody? Any questions you'd like to ask? Anything?'
I was dying inside at this point.
Finally, finally, one hand went up.
I perked up, the woman in charge was visibly relieved. 'Yes? What would you like to ask?'
Deep breath. 'Where did you get your sweater from?'
Ah yes, the glamorous life of a writer....
