Good morning, Readers!

Here I am, twiddling my thumbs, much too stressed to be able to concentrate on anything.

Why am I stressed?  Oh, no reason.

I'M JUST PITCHING THIS WEEKEND AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING!

But no real reason.

Ahem.

Seriously, though.  The pitching process terrifies me.  I've actually never done a pitch face to face with anyone before.  It's so much easier sending an email or package or submission form to some faceless entity.  Actually trying to sell my book to a person, while look at that person, brings on the nervous sweats.

I'm not that good around strangers.

It's different if I know you and am comfortable around you.  I'm my goofy self.  Around strangers, I seize. My tongue gets heavy, my heart stutters and my brain gets fuzzy.  I freak out, essentially.

But, if publishing were easy, everyone would do it.

While I'm freaking out, this is also a huge opportunity for me to grow (a pair).  This is an opportunity to prove myself that I CAN do this.

I might crash and burn, but even then, it will be a learning experience.  One day, I will master the pitch, and it will be one more tool in my belt on this quest to support myself with my writing.

And on that note, I have to go back to researching the perfect pitch.

​Ciao!
