Tomorrow, (Saturday) is my first public reading of one of my short stories. I am apprehensive, hoping I won't fluff-up!

@responsiveme Not from a book, well not yet! This one is a stand alone short story. I get to do it over at a larger venue if the public like it!

@responsiveme It is called 'Fixing the Thingamabob' It started out as an excersise using metasyntactic terminology and, over a few variations, became a short story several minuets long.

Nerves before public speaking is both normal and healthy! I've found that, when I love what I'm talking about (in your case, reading), it's much easier to get into the spirit of it and not think so much about the people before me. I've come to love public speaking and I'm sure when you realize that people are enjoying what you're putting out there, you will enjoy it, too! Have a great time with it!

You have to do it. If you wont than they wont give you marks or else they may pass the reading to someone else. Is it ok with you?
