Teaching public school and college helped me get over most of that, although at the beginning of the school year, I still have some butterflies. I think just a little anxiety keeps us on our toes. Speaking in church and leading Bible studies has given me more confidence. As you point out, Crystal, speak what we know.

Though I am a shy person, it's a lot easier to get in front of a group and teach, with the background experience I acquired as a child. It's also easier when I know the Lord has some important truths He wants me to share.Roberta Sarverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08626329039562640732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-11712896674837739842022-01-21T10:04:05.079-05:002022-01-21T10:04:05.079-05:00I became a writer because I wanted to do more spea...I became a writer because I wanted to do more speaking. But now I'm just as comfortable writing as I am speaking. Both are very necessary and they grow the platform of the other.

But now I love conducting workshops and teaching others about writing.
