Stage Fright and the Dreaded Pitch

It's been some time since I've posted. A lot has been going on. I'm trying to get an agent and I'm trying to polish a medieval to pitch to an editor at the Desert Dreams Conference comping up in April. I have had an agent most of my writing life who did all my "pitching" for me, so needless to say, I'm nervous about it. I always sound like a dork trying to summarize a novel into a few creative sentences. when I go to a job interview, I'm confident, precise and know exactly what I can deliver. Not so when faced with the one person who could take my writing career to the next level. So, with that said, and while I wait to hear from an agent, an e-publisher, and Harlequin in England, I'll just take a deep breath and get back to editing.
