…here in Storytelling Land.
Thanks, Whirl, for this great idea of yours. It worked out so very well!
I loved listening to all of you.
Listening again to Pete read my words, I thought about what ril wrote in a comment on McK’s blog, about how arresting it was, in the good way that being taken by surprise can sometimes be, how surprising it was, hearing one’s written words spoken by someone else, as though the words had been separated from your self.
And others mentioned that maybe reading other’s work was different because a certain self-consciousness is blissfully missing. (Sparky, as usual, is exempt from such mundane worries, as he remains very enjoyably supra human.)
Hope you were able to visit everyone and hear them reading. To that end, here’s our list, one more time:
Kiersten and Natalie traded
Freddie and paca traded
McK and ril traded
Julie and BT traded
Sylvia and Whirl traded
I traded with Pete, and Sparky already had something ready that he used.
And now I’m thinking that in the next month or so, or whenever you want to, we’d try an idea of EE’s, and each read a scene or a section from one of our favorite novels. I don’t know about you all, but I don’t have one favorite novel. My favorite reading is mood-dependent, so I’m thinking we can do this one more than once, just as we can trade off more than once.
How about it? Game for this to be the next voice plan?
Here's to you and yours having a wonderful weekend.

Yeah, ok.
Anything is fine with me. I love going around and listening, whatever is read.
Yes, this was fun to do. I still haven't got round to listen to more than a couple yet, hoping to catch up this weekend...
Robin, this was so fun. Thanks for being the organizer.
I'd love to read something from something I love. (Ha!) Picking is going to be the problem, like you said. Maybe I'll have to do two.
Sounds fun. I'm still catching with listening all of these.
Sounds good, Robin. I haven't had time to listen to the posts yet. Hoping to be able to do that this weekend.
Well if I can figure out how to do it… I'll give it a shot. Possibly. Is it OK that most of my favorite books are for children???
Oooh and I forgot to say - have a lovely weekend everyone

Hi- great that you all are up for it!
And Janey, we would really like to hear you, honey- so I hope you'll play as well!
It's gonna be interesting to see which books we choose excerpts from to read.
I'm going back down for my weekend 4 hours down/4 hours back drive to get stuff done for a famiy member yet again tomorrow - so I won't be around - hope you all have a wonderful Sunday (Monday in the case of McK and ril).
I'm behind on listening, but just heard Sylvia. What a fun story and read.
So impressive, all of you.
I'm still on my way around the readings! Yes, reading a fave novel sounds good.
