We are all just pretending

On Public Speaking

I haven’t done a rambling newsletter for a while, thrown up a half-thought on here and left it to the ether. But, boy is that about to change, strap in! Strap up! Strap around!

I’ve done quite a bit of public speaking lately. People, - friends, family, randoms, ex-colleagues - tell me I’m good at it (it being speaking in front of large crowds of strangers). The truth is that Big Public Speaking jobs terrify me. And not in a ha ha scary way, but in a how can I get into an accident on the way to the venue; maybe I’ll move countries and change my name; could I ask my best friend to hit me really hard so I lose some teeth and physically can’t talk. Totally normal stuff, people!
