I wasn't sure if I was going to release this audio. In the month of January, I took the solo show writing course that episode 219 guest TJ Dawe lead. It was great; I met a group of really talented performers or, like me, wanna be performers.

For the course's final assignment, each of the participants gave a 5 minute performance of whatever original piece we were creating. When I started the class, I had no idea what story or stories I might tell. In the various get to know-ya exercises we did, I quickly realized that my story - the story of the last year, year and half of my life - is pretty interesting to people.

I'm not sure exactly how to frame the rest of the tale at this point, but I think I have a pretty engaging introduction. I recorded an audio version and sought feedback from people outside the class: some people who are close to me and know me and my story pretty well; some people who hardly know me or haven't seen me in years. I'm so grateful for the support from those who offered or agreed to give a response. And I'm ever more grateful to those who actually did. Overall, the feedback was very positive. And so, being encouraged that I was on to something good, I thought I'd just straight up share here. Who knows? It might motivate me to keep working on it.

If you have any feedback, whether we're close or not, drop me message.
