Not sure if I'll really feel this way if they ever ask for some of these things but I guess we'll see!Kristina Springerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03171504801682649341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-31228578017139393512008-08-15T14:44:00.000-07:002008-08-15T14:44:00.000-07:00Em, I agree, improvising is not very fun.

Once you know what's out there in your area, you usually have to do a proposal explaining what you have in mind in the way of a presentation and what benefits it would provide. My agent hasn't gotten involved in any promotion stuff thus far.Lisa Schroederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10677227681455190084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-84785003075273425202008-08-15T11:34:00.000-07:002008-08-15T11:34:00.000-07:00That's great that you have two conferences lined u...That's great that you have two conferences lined up in the near future.

You speak so well on all your vlogs!!<BR/><BR/>I don't mind public speaking as long as I know exactly what I'm going to say. But I would be a horrible wreck just improvising. Questions are okay, but that's about as much free-speaking as I can take.Emily Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073350248209507278noreply@blogger.com
