Thanks for visiting my blog. You'r...Hi Nancy. Thanks for visiting my blog. You're so right to be taking the speaking class because your memoir topic will have a wide audience you'll want to speak with directly. I've never had any trouble speaking in front of groups. I did it all the time as a teacher and at academic conferences. However, when I read a passage from the memoir I'm working on I thought I'd never survive. It was the first time I had ever read something that came from somewhere so deep inside. But it was great to hear my words out loud.Julie Farrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810771028650707072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6436750775660143393.post-50470605689466003292011-09-07T18:56:26.777-07:002011-09-07T18:56:26.777-07:00You're welcome, Elizabeth.

Next a writing class would be perfect. School gave my writing purpose, this is what you need. Validation. It's your "safe place," you're with peers and they understand. See my first "school" posts. I use to be scared, but no more. It's time to start you're own journey.

The workshops you are enrolled in sound wonderful. A fellow writer I've met since I started writing regularly does Open Mic (reads her poems) to help her overcome shyness. It's seems intense, but she survives. Thanks for the post recaps..brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480258485472568272noreply@blogger.com
