Book Convention and Unwanted Affection

I was at some book fair thing with all the authors around to talk and sign books and such. And I was one of the authors- I had written some great award-winning young adult novel.

A fan came up to me and said how much he liked my book, and I asked if he'd read my other books. He was like, "What? You wrote other books?" Then I realized that the books I was thinking of were actually written by Shannon Hale. And I got to feeling depressed and unproductive since I'd only written one book. Some girl tried to cheer me up by saying that I was in a busy time of life, what with school and all, and I couldn't be expected to find the time to do much writing. And I replied that a lot of writers write during busier times in their life- they just make time for it. And then I remembered that I'm not even in school right now.

So I go wandering around, looking at the various books, when I come across this series of seven kids books. I pull a couple down and read the blurbs on the back, then see that the author is sitting at a table behind me. He is about 17 years old and already has this series of books out.

Then I end up in a school library- either elementary or junior high- and Andrew starts kissing me. It feels really gross and I try to get away, but he doesn't realize that I really don't want him kissing me. I eventually get away from him.
