I shouldn't be. I have been to many professional conferences, presented my work in front of other professionals in my field, taught 25 years of classes -- but I'm petrified of going to this conference.
I can count the reasons:
- Because now I have to admit I'm a writer
- Because I don't know how I come off in person
- Because I'm going to be around real published writers, of which I'm not one
- Because I have handed off ten pages of Prodigies in an editorial review and I don't know what ELSE I'll be expected to change.
- Because I'll be giving a verbal pitch to real people instead of just online
- Just because
Deep breath.

I believe that everyone here comes with good intent. If you come to spoil my assumptions by verbal abuse, excessive profanity, spam or other abuses I had not considered, I reserve the right to delete your notes or delete your participation. I am the arbiter of what violates good intent.
