I know that this makes me sound really hand-wringing lefty emotional, and also totally up myself.
BUT
on Wednesday evening I have to present a creative piece I've done for my MA class. I've done a short piece of fiction, and the ending of it makes me cry.
Every time.
I hoped that reading it over and over would work, but I still cry.
I teach during the day, so I've tried sitting at my desk while there's another class in the room, and reading it quietly to myself, thinking that the presence of others would sort me out. I still cry.
What do I do? I have to read this thing out loud to my class. It will make me cry. I don't want to cry in front of them.
It's a pretty safe space and people would understand if I choked up a little, but I actually properly cry and then can't speak clearly and I need to read this out.

How do I present a reading which makes me cry?
