In uncomfortable or unknown situations, I'm a clam--a 5'8" clam whose blank expression looks like I just found you breaking into my house and eating all of my chocolate, but still a clam. I have to force myself to be outgoing, and once I know you, I turn into a ham and spend the rest of my days trying to make you laugh. I'm such a mess. :)Pamela Caynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174668344756269618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497527259724807294.post-12410374059230928072010-11-14T16:36:55.156-08:002010-11-14T16:36:55.156-08:00The beauty of writers' conventions is you can ...The beauty of writers' conventions is you can be sure 99% of the people there are introverts - including the agents and editors.

Luckily I do believe that shyness can be "worked on." And I'm working on it.

I've gotten better in the last few years, and especially in the last three, but it has always been and probably always will be a struggle for me.Kelley Poundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239385559335614034noreply@blogger.com
