Working on my presentation

Jun 24, 2008 Writing, work work work

My GCAC workshop is full so that means there are a lot of people who are hoping I have something useful to say. I’m hoping I have something useful to say, too. It so happens that the workshop is coinciding with a small crisis of confidence I’m having in my own career, which makes me a tough sell on my own talk. Ha!

I’m using some of my writer quotes for the powerpoint presentation. I want to have something for people to look at both to keep me focused and because I know some folks in the audience will be visual. (It’s for all types of artists.) I don’t know anything about the practicalities of careers in other practices so I’m keeping things very loose and basic and not planning what I’m going to say too much. Instead I’m going to be pulling from the audience, particularly two friends of mine who will be there and who are very talented visual artists. (Sharon and Melissa) Originally I was going to try to get Sharon to teach this with me because she is doing AMAZING things but I could never get my stuff together enough to organize that so I’m just going to use her a whole heckuva lot.

I’m nervous/excited about it. It’s both better and worse that people I know will be there (Pennie’s Nate’s sister will be there, too — she’s also a visual artist).

Ok, back to work!!
