Tonight I am reading a piece that I've been working on for my Women Writing for (a) Change class. It's a public "readaround." I'm excited and a little nervous. It's funny, really, because I do a lot of public speaking for my job. Sometimes I speak to very large audiences. I don't generally get nervous there. But this is different - these are my words, my stories. Personal and important to me.
The good news is that the writing class is structured to provide a safe and supportive environment. I'm looking forward to this -- and to the treats and goodies that will be at the reception when we're done! :-)
I'll be thinking of you tonight. Wish I could be there. (giving you little signs, like a cough, or looking at my watch, to let you know your time is about up:) It seems like I did alot of that in earlier years. Enjoy your time.
