I’ve HATED public speaking for as long as I can remember…
The butterflies in my stomach.
The nervous cold sweating.
The nausea and sheer dread.
The internal chaotic dialogue.
The blank empty mind while my mouth is putting out random words…
I really don’t like to be in the public eye. I just want people to look at what I’ve made, not ME. Unfortunately… it’s kind of necessary to put yourself out there to promote your books in the US. I know people say you don’t HAVE to and only do what you’re comfortable with. But let’s be honest. It certainly doesn’t hurt will help because people are curious about who’s behind the book.
I get it. I’m always curious too!
So I’ve been slowly trying to push myself with an event here and there.
Freaking out every time.
