When I'm not the moderator I'll even call out other panelists by name if they seem particularly quiet. I never let another panelist talk over me but then I'm a bit in your face so I can feel comfortable doing that.The Chocolate Priestesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04322278673289963673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-24356996999612844522014-06-09T18:26:00.631-04:002014-06-09T18:26:00.631-04:00lol - excellent advice, Tuck!lol - excellent advice, Tuck!Jeffe Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779020656676094853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-24543230795516305772014-06-09T18:12:03.111-04:002014-06-09T18:12:03.111-04:00I LOVE doing panels.

It was about self publishing and the question was about how and where to publish. She had this stack of papers of all the free resources on the whole internet (I'm exaggerating) and don't pay anyone for help. She was shaking with passion for this topic and interrupted anyone asked a question to say "I have a free resource right here!" holding her stack of papers. It was kind of scary... the wife of a panelist was in the audience and in a teacher's voice said "we all know you have a list of resources, but I would like to hear what the others have to say. Thank you." It was fabulous :)Sharon Stognerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732141088637958862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-3966632597266574062014-06-08T21:46:48.408-04:002014-06-08T21:46:48.408-04:00I remember you telling that story!
