Well, I survived my two panels at WisCon. Given the amount of social anxiety involved, and me being reticent to do things even as small as talking on the phone, I have to wonder if maybe I stop forcing myself to do things that produce anxiety for me. I always feel like it'll be akin to jumping into a swimming pool, and it's cold for a second, but then you get used to it. I never do.
Highlights for me were meeting Richard Bowes,
catherineldf, and
kimnik.
Oh well, at least the "OMG, people are looking at me" anxiety totally obliterated the "OMG I'm driving downtown and I'll probably have an accident" anxiety. Now I feel like I can TOTALLY drive there, no problem :-/
