And I totally appreciate the difference between versatile and eclectic!!<br /><br />I know what you mean about gardening - I don't do nearly as much of it as I should. Luckily, we don't have a big chigger problem in the north! You don't happen to know my niece, Kim Fasking, do you? She live in Birmingham too. <br /><br />At the SCBWI LA conference last year, Bruce Coville said that all writers who are going to do public speaking and school visits should take an improv class, so I took one last year - two sessions actually. I loved it and I know you will too! It definitely helped me feel more comfortable in front of an audience. <br /><br />I have no idea what iron casting is but it sounds intriguing! What is it?<br /><br />PS - thanks so much for the kind words - I feel the same about you!!Lori Degmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13431302924584172655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-61251976315687147912012-05-25T07:58:21.538-05:002012-05-25T07:58:21.538-05:00Fun post!

Actually, I didn't much like coloring in something someone else had drawn at all - just drew my own pictures!)<br /><br />Are you going to Hester's Show-Don't-Tell retreat? I think it's going to be terrific.Robyn Hood Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07279289715664168026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-17313897814856252372012-05-23T11:53:02.579-05:002012-05-23T11:53:02.579-05:00Hi Irene!

I wholeheartedly believe that anyone who has to be in the public eye for any reason should take an intro to acting or improv class, even more so than public speaking. If it's a good class, it will free you, Irene, and I know you'll just love it. If you do it, please blog about it - would love to hear how it goes. :)Renee LaTulippehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858405241136190640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-86451447786198778452012-05-23T08:57:50.771-05:002012-05-23T08:57:50.771-05:00Congratulations, Irene, and thank you!

It sounds like you are thinking about challenging yourself in interesting ways. I don't know what iron casting is, but I'm intrigued. Thanks again! :-)Tabathahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367572663591077922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-42058693280021535952012-05-23T07:14:57.124-05:002012-05-23T07:14:57.124-05:00I agree, a comedy/improv class does sound scary, b...I agree, a comedy/improv class does sound scary, but good for you for even thinking about it! And THANK YOU for this lovely start to my day! Considering that I woke up to a broken coffee pot, your award definitely helped, Irene. Being eclectic is highly interesting. I will have to take this on all the day to see how it feels. Have a terrific day!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
