Both take practice and courage, although I don't think I'd ever be brave enough for the acting thing!Krispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492607213249874138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-24880576819591696902012-02-17T14:24:08.457-05:002012-02-17T14:24:08.457-05:00So true.

Couldn't one of them try out for the role of Beatrice? :>) It seems that would have been much easier on you...although I guess it might end out with some needed therapy sessions for the boys. Maybe one could have tried out to be Don Juan~ Anyway, good luck to them both!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602096751376024068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-71698670814800496322012-02-17T12:41:25.267-05:002012-02-17T12:41:25.267-05:00So true that eventually you have to put down all o...So true that eventually you have to put down all of the books on writing and do it.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00685341739870191402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-58338004976446629592012-02-17T12:28:19.945-05:002012-02-17T12:28:19.945-05:00Yep, we've gotta be grateful for every baby st...Yep, we've gotta be grateful for every baby step.

And both writing and acting one really has to learn by doing--there's no magic how-to book or class that can teach you what it feels like to get it right. Trial and (sometimes embarassing) error--neither pursuit is for the faint of heart!Rowennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757364614589686606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-48908105671323936982012-02-17T08:43:16.580-05:002012-02-17T08:43:16.580-05:00This is a wonderful analogy!

I've never had to try out for an acting role (when we did plays in our youth group, we were such a small number of people that we had to bully even the ones who didn't want to act into getting up on stage, and you took the role you were given, no tryouts required), but oh yes, I've had that terrible first novel (which I printed and still keep among my treasured possessions, because as bad as it is, it marks something wonderful), that rejection after an R&R, and am now grimly, determinedly, not-letting-anything-interfere, working on polishing my next ms to as close to perfection as it can come. Even failures teach us something, if we choose to learn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
