    "Can you hear my fear?"

    "Ever hear of Glossophobia?"

    Scared Speechless"

    "Nervous Nelly"

    "Jumpy Jodie" (if that's your name)

    Have you tried to come up with a title yourself? It's quite simple and easy, actually! All you have to do is write a summary of your story. Take the keywords from your summary and write a long list. Mix those words together until you come up with the perfect story title!

    Here are some of my own ideas:

    "Million Eyes" - A simple title that explains how the character is frightened of the many eyes watching his/her every move.

    "The Spotlight" - A simple title that explains how the character is scared to be in the spotlight.

    "Watch Me Burn" - I don't know about the main character, but when I'm speaking in front of the crowd, my face is obviously burning red. Besides that, the character might be scared to mess up, or 'crash and burn', in front of the crowd.

    "Facing the Fear of Simple Speech" - This title uses alliteration, or the repetition of the same letter or sound.

    "Butterflies" - If you like simple titles that explain your story, but the reader doesn't know what you are really talking about until they begin to read, this is a great title. It is a reference to those 'butterflies in your stomach' when speaking in front of a crowd.

    "Past the Curtains" - When speaking in front of a large crowd in a auditorium, you have to go past those large curtains. This title helps explain the fear.

    Jessi - I really like your title idea, "Scared Speechless". Great thinking!

    Teri - I really like your title idea, too. Especially a great name if the story has a bit of comedy in it.

    It's hard to come up with a proper title without a proper summary. Besides that, I'm not very good at coming up with titles (if you couldn't already tell). I'll add more once I think of some.

    More Frightening Than Death

    That comes from the poll that happened a few years back that showed that public speaking was the #1 fear, and death was #2.

    They always say speakers should imagine their audience in their underwear to help them relax, so...
