Do you love to paint (or writer or draw or knit or sew or take pictures) but hate to TALK about what you do? Do dread cocktail parties where people might ask the quesiton, "So what are you up to?" Many creative people who are amazingly literate on paper or canvas become utterly tongue-tied when forced to talk about their work. I myself have often responded to the question, "What kinds of books do you write?" with a mouthful of babble. If you know what I mean, you need to check out Lauren Allen 's website, The 15 Second Pitch, and try out the widget that lets you devise a simple, easy way to talk about what you do. You can also read the 15 second pitches of 16,000 other folks. Although some of them are from people in decidedly un-creative jobs, it's still incredible cool.
