Just as daily fiction writing is great practice for submission preparation, so too was the speech set out. It wasn't until it was out there nd I was looking at it through the eyes of a potential audience that i could see that my humour and attempts at additional fund raising could be interrupted differently to what i had delivered.<br /><br />So, new speech is funny and uplifting and involves some instantaneous tea leaf reading.Megan Baylisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04549696888232735259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310469305810613191.post-42686612045575213922010-05-25T17:43:29.830+10:002010-05-25T17:43:29.830+10:00I love confronting.

Too confronting an...Yeah, I think you're right. Too confronting and evokes guilt. Was a useful exercise though in sorting my thinking around my speech. I am thinking I will tell a story, a narrative, about symbolism and end with the symbolism of cancer and invite participants to have their tea leaves read.Megan Baylisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04549696888232735259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310469305810613191.post-24918695887019728142010-05-25T10:11:50.168+10:002010-05-25T10:11:50.168+10:00Pretty confronting stuff.Pretty confronting stuff.Julie Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164670530993050536noreply@blogger.com
