[jongibbs]

Sounds like an excellent workshop!

My weekend plans include enjoying my daughter's last Saturday at home--and probably some revisions on my wip--as well as driving her back to college.

[angelmcc]

The worst advice I ever got about talking/singing in public was to imagine the audience naked. It seemed like a good idea at first, until I saw my old gran sitting in the front row with her usual 'What's that awful smell' expression and a sack of 'past sell-by date' vegetables on her lap :(
