I'm not a shy guy. Public speaking has never bothered me but today I'll admit to a few butterflies. As I type this I am about 4 hours away from speaking at a local civic organizations monthly luncheon. I've spoken to writers groups, a few book clubs and even taught writing classes to both kids and adults, but this is my first general assembly type of talk.
My idea to forgo a written speech and speak off the cuff seemed like a good idea as recently as last night, but this morning I'm feeling a tad more dubious over that decision, after Lettuce Is the Devil my secopnd favorite personal creed is Baffle 'em with Bullshit. I sure hope it works this time.
Speaking of bullshit, tomorrow morning me and the talented poet known as THE WALKING MAN, Mark Durfee are engaging in a blog swap of fantastical fecal fun. Hope you check out our B.S. laden posts.
In other guest post and blogging news, I danced with dragons yesterday while giving out a few tips on writing memoirs.
And today, I have the honor of making the talented Deborah Elliott-Upton blush over at the Sleuth Sayers blog.
Stop by and say high to these fine ladies if you get the chance.
Travis, I'm glad you could join us at SleuthSayers.org!
