OK, so I've been thinking about what I did right and what I did wrong in my pitch sessions last year at the RWA conference. I think the main thing I did wrong was act like a silly, nervous ninny. lol. I mean for pete's sake, my day job is very intense and rather public. You'd think I would know how to act in a simple pitch session. But no, I guess it's so close to what I really want in life that I kind of lost my training. Despite all that, I still got requests for two full manuscripts, which was very cool, but still. I need to get a grip. :-)
So THIS year, I'm going to kick some ass and be me. Be professional, confident, chatty, personable, etc. and show them what I can do. In fact, some of the ladies in my crit group will be there so I'm thinking we should get together beforehand and practice. Yes, that is what we shall do!
