My first live storytelling!

Tonight I shared my re-telling of "The Golden Carrots" on the class digital story hour. It went better than I thought it would, but man, am I glad the first one is over and done with! I suffer from intense stage-fright, and I thought that doing my first story digitally would be a good way to go before telling stories to a live, physical audience (as I'll be doing a week from tomorrow with two of my classmates and our assorted guests). But my heart started racing as soon as Jenine typed my name as the next up. I thought everyone else did wonderfully, and I loved the variety of stories told. These class story hours are great fun!

Anyway, my story can be heard on this link (I begin my story at the 23:30 mark): http://uweoconnect.extn.washington.edu/p36111020/

  1. Susan, I would never have known you were nervous! You were amazing! I was super terrified, but got so into listening to Claire tell the first story that I was able to calm down enough to tell mine (but then when it was over I shook like a leaf for a good thirty minutes :)

    Looking forward to more stories from you!
