Just hung up from the invite. *Gulp*
Would I be interested in hosting & being the main speaker/lecturer of a writing seminar, here on our base, for those interested in becoming a writer, or not sure what the next step is now that their manuscript is finished. They don't care that I'm self-published; they've read my work, are VERY excited about it, and feel that I could be an asset to others desiring a career in writing. Now, just so ye' all ken, I would be taking them down the path of traditional publishing routes, not what worked best for me (though I will throw it out there as an option); I'm a diehard in believing traditional publishing is still the ultimate prize!
My gosh...I would be uber grateful if any of you could give me some pointers of materials that would be great for handouts, what kinds of topics interested you--if any of you have been absolutely blessed & able to attend a writer's conference/seminar, as I have not, and even websites that helped tremendously. I've a host of my own, but I don't want to NOT list something that I DON'T know, yet would have been beneficial.
I have some ideas formulating, but don't want to arrive & look like a boob.
I haven't given them a confirmation yet, as I have to see how much I'm able to do after surgery (seminar to be held Feb 29th).
Isn't this exciting? Stupid, lamo me--a speaker...who knew????
I've forever loved toastmasters, so speaking in public isn't an issue...but this crowd will be anyone from the base commander on down. It's a small base...I mean, like EVERYONE knows EVERYONE. I can't screw this up.
*Sigh* I can't tell you how helpful this will be, your input. I'd really like to say yes; I'd really prefer NOT to look like a baffoon.
Thanks so much,
karey
