Nerves

So I have an email I want to write. I found the address of an author whose first book (at least, the first released for a general audience) was absolutely phenomenal. This person is not (yet) so wildly famous as to have gone into hiding.

Still.

I don't want to sound like a total dork.

As hiding under the desk will not help in the least, I shall go off to think about things awhile. SIGH. Maybe that email will get written before Christmas...
