So it transpired. I translocate myself to a sophisticated plain of
writing. I went in, and I rocked it out. I did the writing Tango.
And I had a rose clenched between my teeth after it was done.
It only continued for a limited time; about two hours. I paid my fee,
and we talked about their business. I was brought into the ground, and I was
introduce to everyone. Most renowned person so far is Eileen Kernaghan. An
author, impressively, that has published 33 books over her life time. I'll be
going to her novel reading. It will be at a get-together called Spoken Ink next
Tuesday. Link below.
The place I went too was an art building. In had a huge hall, and you
can hear a concert playing in the milieu. Of course, I had gone astray right
away. After a few minutes of walking around, I found where I was supposed to
be, and meet the first people there.
It’s a small group, and
lots of different kind of writers. We sat in a circle, and read out work that
we have done. People read their poetry most of time. We can could be review in
different ways. One guy, a man from Korea, wanted his English reviewed as he
wasn’t that great with English. Some people wanted a normal review asking if
they liked it or not.
I wanted their very harsh review.
I did
read my first three pages.
I was prepared myself
for the huge negative review, and I asked did ask for very harsh review. That
hardest they could possibly be. Oh, bring multiply copies of your work, and I
only brought my three pages. In hindsight it would have helped the review if
they could've read along; however, what happened made me believe when people
said, “You have a good book.
They said it was good. So good, they were impressed. So good the person
who has been published 33 times snatched the page, and said, "I'll review
this."
My mentor was right, I'm doing this. It's kind of overwhelming feeling
right now, and don't know how to responded to this yet. Thought it was the
first time I read my work, I now have high hopes. But, the lesson I did take
away from a reading: bring some water. It is very hard to read with a dry
throat.
It's a lot to take in right now, and I took one more step forward on
this adventure.
All and all. This couldn't not been possible without everyone. Thank you for
your support. I'll keep you update if anything new happens.
