the better part of me

There's always that one audience member who clearly thinks he should've been on the panel, whatever panel it is. I've seen panelists get carried away like that too. The rule I always try to keep in mind is "Don't mention titles unless someone asks." It seems to be the line between discussion and self-promotion.

I do feel good about how the panel went, I'm sorry if that wasn't clear in my report. It wasn't OMG GREATEST EVAR (more general questions about the writing process would've helped, as you said), but it was firmly on the level with other good panels I've been on. :)
