My first inclination with every invitation for speaking engagements is to say ‘no, I can’t do it’ because public speaking makes my palms sweat and heart quiver. But knowing that every challenge helps you grow into a better person and prepares you for the next greater, bigger thing, I would then take a deep breath and with much internal conflict, always find myself saying ‘sure, my pleasure’. As an introvert, I never thought there’d come a day when I would be speaking into a camera — a soliloquy of sorts — since my natural state is just being quietly lost in thoughts and reflections.
But here is that day, as the Winnipeg Thin Air 2020 International Writers’ Festival is launched! Between now and Oct10/20, you can peruse their website to see readings from myself and many wonderful authors.https://thinairfestival.ca/
