Speech Writing
You're going to write a speech. And you're scared to death. Sure, I know you're not afraid of the speechmaking. Spouting it out is comparatively easy; in fact, it may be fun. But writing-ah! That is another story.
But relax, and let's talk about it. Push aside the paper and pencil, or if you are planning to dictate your speech, tell who-ever's wanting to ask something to come back later. Somehow this invitation to make a speech puffs you up like a gas balloon. Why, I don't know.
How to Write Speeches...
You're the same person you were before you took the phone call or read the email invitation. The ideas you will present to these people will be the same old stuff that you've been giving your buddies and the bartender. There is nothing startling or revolutionary about these ideas. Well, if you are the same person with the same ideas, what's the sense of getting puffed up?
So let's deflate and discuss why they asked you to make this speech. I don't mean what they told you in the invitation - let's go into the real why.
Is it because Whosis is the program chairman, and he knows you or has heard of you? Or maybe somebody has asked your manager in Fort Worth, and he tried to think of somebody and sold you to them. Or perhaps they've got twenty-seven turndowns and in desperation they are grabbing at you. Most invitations are like that. So let's not get puffed up over the request. Sometimes it's a case of everybody in the group has to give speech or toast or...
Then let's consider what they want. Well, they want you to talk for twenty or thirty minutes. They hope you will be good, but they have their ringers crossed. They want you to tell them something, or to sell them something, and they hope you'll do it

They told you what they wanted you to talk about, or you suggested a subject.
You were told you how much time you had. OK, that's enough.
Dictate or write all the ideas you have on the subject as quickly as you can. Don't worry about having too little or too much. Put down in a hurry everything you think of.
Why fast? Well, if you stop to think, you are lost.
Don't consider whether or not you will say this or that or can say this or that, or whether or not the boss will approve. That's what makes speech writing such a chore for most persons.
They put down an idea and then scratch it out. That leaves them exactly where they started.
So do this fast.
What you want is a list of ideas that you might use. When you have it all down you can go back and revise.
To show you what I mean I will write out the synopsis of the talk, "How to Run a Sales Meeting." Because this talk has been done a number of times, the synopsis might be more finished than your first try.
First we need a sheet of paper, then a headline like this:
