I'm taking a bunch of the rejection letters with me and some of the things I wrote when I was a teenager.<br /><br />I also plan to woo them with candy. :)Leigh Bresciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17960058302888187950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469168602573458801.post-64628589208561139292009-05-27T09:34:21.632-04:002009-05-27T09:34:21.632-04:00LOL, I always write out my school speeches word fo...LOL, I always write out my school speeches word for word, then make an outline, then try to memorize both so I can just speak naturally when I'm actually there. I think it really does help!<br /><br />Great advice, and you're exactly right, it is subjective. What works for one person doesn't work for another. I always tell teens who want to be a writer that it just takes ONE person to say yes and sometimes you don't always find that one person on the first try.<br /><br />Good luck with the school visit! I don't like public speaking either, but I've found school visits to actually be pretty enjoyable once I get past the nervousness. I prefer talking to teens over adults. ;) I've found that they love it if you have a big stack of rejection letters to show them! My stack always gets comments and gasps from the teens. And if you have time for a question and answer session, they'll usually ask a lot of great questions. :)Shana Norrishttp://www.shananorris.comnoreply@blogger.com
