Not All Writers Are Public Speakers

Stardate 94466.61

Not all public speakers are writers and not all writers are public speakers. As much as I love typing I hate public speaking. I could never speak from an outline in high school or college. Every word always had to plan everything out verbatim in manuscript form if I had a presentation. That is probably why I can never write just a short story – most of them turn into novellas. Giving me a word count limit is like warning a toddler they have five more minutes with Doc McStuffins.
