Pitched Down the Elevator Shaft

I have a bad blind spot. As most of you know, I'm not a shy person. I enjoy being on panels at conventions. I have no fear of public speaking.

With Lynne, I've had many dinners with major BNAs without feeling intimidated. Hell, I held my own on a panel with George R.R. Martin and Jim Frenkel. There are very few subjects that trip me up.

Except for one notable subject. I suck when it comes to talking about my writing. If somebody asks me about it, I freeze up and my tongue whips into knots.
