Abstract

I could feel the tiny glands in my armpits firing off, one by one. I fidgeted, pushed the lettuce around my plate, and smiled blankly at the gentleman beside me, too distracted to make conversation. It was no use. I would be a nervous wreck until my speech was over. The organizers of the 2016 Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop had given me five minutes to speak about NSNC during the Friday lunch program. I had plenty of public speaking experience, but - if there was one thing I knew about these Erma folks - they didn't want anyone to interrupt lunch unless laughter was involved.
