I found out that if you rearrange the letters in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, you're a dick." and get rid of any superfluous wording. We do a lot of writers' workshops and that's one of the pieces of advice that helped me the most. The nerves are completely normal. I was a basket case my first time up, but after that, it got easier and easier with each time I went up.
