How brave of you, and how cool that you realized that you'd have to do this someday anyway, if you were going to become an author. <br /><br />I would have shivered senseless and probably not spoken a word...ten years ago! Yay for age and maturity! I think I probably would have managed to take a challenge like this, if the place wasn't packed. I've actually realized that the more relaxed I am in a crowd, the more "funny" I can be without really trying. I know it's superficial to say so, but I amaze myself sometimes. I used to be so stiff and shy and quiet, but I'm so much more relaxed now, and I'm ME, you know? The relaxed, online-me slowly emerging to the real world.<br /><br />Anyway, I thought how you handled the beginning was excellent. You got the crowd with you even before you started. Way to go!Tessa Quinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619129838476851241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8532466010181355583.post-29824667943554518402010-10-13T01:52:08.543-07:002010-10-13T01:52:08.543-07:00It's working now!!

It's weird, I don't often think of myself as an 'artist', but we are, aren't we?! haha I don't have any recent stories of courage. Generally speaking, I'm a wuss :-) ... but thanks for sharing! This reminded me that inspiration and motivation can come at the most unlikely time, in the most unlikely places.Lo Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04460559668621357188noreply@blogger.com
