There were times when I had to get up in front of groups of teachers and "sell" new programs and ideas for teaching kids and that was nerve racking.<br />I'm trying to keep up with posting the Challenge book reviews also and sometimes I get a little behind and have to post EllenToohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06114930219445131840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-57532286642584721152009-05-16T13:13:00.000-07:002009-05-16T13:13:00.000-07:00I don't mind flying, but I would rather just stay ...I don't mind flying, but I would rather just stay home.

I was on the speech team in high school, ran a lot of classes in my corporate day job. Yet the idea of doing book signings and public promotion makes me ill. I think it's the "salesman" aspect of it.
