OK. The #SaturdayScenes community on Google Plus is planning to do some interviews of its members, and somehow that escalated into me organizing a dance show. Ironically, during the years when I was teaching Scottish Highland Dance, I did that on a regular basis.
I’m guessing that none of my community-mates know how to do a Seann Triubhas. But they could handle rollerskating…I’m sure they could handle rollerskating! And karaoke. Yeah…karaoke on skates. We’ll get Harry Connick Jr. to judge…
Here’s the plan. 500 words or less, autobiographical, whatever POV makes you happy, describing what your performance would be like. Dancing, skating, karaoke, or all three in any combination. Post in the comments with a mini-blurb bio telling us what you write. Or, alternatively, a link to a video that demonstrates any such performance.
Anyone can participate. ROWers, Scenics, innocent passers-by who have no idea how they got to my blog…all are welcome!
And now, my ROW80 update for the week:
Many butt-in-chair hours plugging away this week. I’m more than meeting the goals, as measured by time. I finished Revision 02 of one novel in the duology, and started the second.
One not-really-a-glitch moment is when I had the beginning of another story banging away at the inside of my skull and I had to start writing it. I had planned to put it off until the duology was off to the beta readers, so I could give my full attention to this very different story, but I just couldn’t help myself.
My brain does not like switching gears. My brain wants to do whatever my OCD is latched onto. But I wrote about a thousand words one night, and then was able to go back to revising. I’m hoping to be done with Revision 02 by the end of the week.
Hey! I’ve got some karaoke to kick things off… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c5UVsb-Hqs
I refer to it as the Butterfly Syndrome or simply O, Squirrel! I’m not sure I would succeed as a juggler, but I seem to be doing a pretty decent imitation. 🙂
All the best with the rest of the revisions . . . and with your new story.
