And yes, I did sing out with the hippie music playing in the background. This is so not my thing which is why it took me five years to do it :) It was certainly a thrill though. <br /><br />I love doing things like this to get me out of my box. I figure if I look funny, at least I gave someone something to laugh about. <br /><br />I'm so glad you picked a book to work on! I'm excited to read it :) That's awesome that you twirled! Yay for tossing the shoes and letting loose!Michelle Merrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00040685503147648297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437730797773263014.post-55103970608954668772011-04-19T06:41:37.245-06:002011-04-19T06:41:37.245-06:00I love that story!

I'm revising Raithe's book and feeling like a pretty crummy writer at the moment. I have two other stories to start planning and I can't decide which one I should start: The one I love (but I'm afraid I'll screw up) and the one that's been nagging at me for a while. I think what's really bothering me is that I feel like it's going to take me a couple of books to get this writing thing under my belt. I don't want to screw up my favorite idea *sigh* but it's the one muse loves the most. I probably just need to let go for a while and see what happens. Maybe twirl a bit :)KM Nallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714392426676743868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437730797773263014.post-37657956011741425362011-04-19T00:58:03.987-06:002011-04-19T00:58:03.987-06:00That is awesome!

People who have movie experiences like that HAVE TO BE AWESOME. :)<br /><br />And I'm with A.L, The Unhappening of Genesis Lee sounds extraordinary. <br /><br />Moi? I mustered my fear of heights and walked over a 100+ year old wooden railroad/track that was being repaired at the time. Yeah, I could have DIED.nindogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00402469664507298689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437730797773263014.post-42863496972055643342011-04-18T11:40:59.076-06:002011-04-18T11:40:59.076-06:00I love the title of your new story!

Sort of like the skirt-twirling did for you. <br /><br />Happy writing!<br /><br />AmyA.L.

The thing I remember the most is the kid at the rental counter being so shocked!<br /><br />Ah, good old freshman year!<br /><br />Anyway, I hope TUGL goes well!

(Hate being tapped) I turned around and slapped him pretty hard. He laughed, and so did a lot of other people in the class. It sort of made me mad, since I wasn't trying to be funny... ;) <br />I was going through the same dilemma on which story to write just last week. I finally decided to go with the character who wouldn't leave me alone, and once I started writing, the story started falling into place. I wrote down a little outline in half an hour and have my whole story basically planned out. It's so weird how that happens. After I stop freaking out about what to write, one story always stands out more than the other.<br />Good luck on your Genesis book! It sounds intriguing! :DChantele Sedgwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07920913211842919013noreply@blogger.com
