Last of my three-part guest spot at Kathy Ide’s blog about Mount Hermon.

If you missed them, here are the links to Part One and Part Two.  

PITCH-A-PHOBIA

2013-03-24 18.09.59I have a secret. I am pitch-challenged. I suffer from a gut-wrenching, chill-producing, chokehold case of pitch-a-phobia.

You may be laughing, but I know my career could take off or topple based on my ability to get my manuscript out there. And before you judge, try summing up ninety thousand words in one sentence and then tell it to a stranger who is looking for any excuse to shoot you down.

Voilà—instant pitch-a-phobia. READ THE REST AT KATHYIDE.COM

Some people drool over rock stars. Others salivate over hunky actors. I get giddy over meeting my favorite authors and writing gurus. I have entire shelves in my bookcase devoted to autographed books.

When I went to my first few writers’ conferences and seminars, I played wallflower, hung out in the back, and never approached anyone published. I mean, really, those people were famous, right? Why would they talk to me?
