00:08:52 Beth Westcott: Hello. I'm from NY 00:20:05 Yvonne Ortega: Yes, I am a DTM. 00:20:28 Yvonne Ortega: I’m just slow to get to the chat. 00:20:32 Tracy Crump: Our son did a little with Toastmasters when we homeschooled. 00:20:59 Yvonne Ortega: How precious, Tracy. 00:25:12 Elaine McAllister: Don't let your delivery be something those who hear will STUMBLE over! I love that. 00:40:33 Leslie: I am. 00:41:09 Yvonne Ortega: I stopped when I got very sick, but I started blogging again. 00:41:52 Elaine McAllister: Good for you, Yvonne! I need to become more regular on my blog. 00:42:36 Yvonne Ortega: Thank you, Elaine. Now we can pray for each other to be regular for HIM. 00:42:46 Elaine McAllister: Yes! 00:43:07 Tracy Crump: I just started a blog for caregivers even though I said I would never blog. Never thought about using video with it. 00:43:26 Elaine McAllister: Yay, Tracy! Much needed! 00:43:37 Betty Owens: Good idea, Tracy. 00:43:44 Yvonne Ortega: Go for it, Tracy.

This was very informative. 00:52:48 Pam Walker: What can you expect if you join Toastmasters? 00:53:59 Tracy Crump: I've spoken mostly to other writers, but they're not necessarily my audience. How do you find opportunities to reach "your audience"? 00:54:30 Susan Hayhurst: How do we make time to write, speak and keep up with all the promotion let alone the rest of our daily priorities? Do writers often hire assistants to take some of the load? 00:55:59 Tracy Crump: We usually preach to the choir. 00:58:34 Donna Stearns: I'm sorry to leave early but there is an emergency within the church my husband pastors. 00:58:53 Elaine McAllister: Praying Donna - thanks for joining us 00:58:59 Tracy Crump: So sorry, Donna!
