I was telling stories to high school students today. One asked if this was my real job, how I do it. I told him that I worked in a day job for many years and told stories at the same time, then I decided it was time to quit and see if I could pursue my dream full time.
He replied, "Wait, this is it? You don't have another job? And you're making it work?"
"Yup. It's hard and scary and one of the best decisions I've made."
"Man. That's the bravest thing I've heard all day. Someday I'm gonna do something like that."
Yes! One down, about 5 billion to go.
BRAVO, BABE!!!!!!!!! Love you sharing the kids' voices. I can see their faces and hear their voices just in this small tale.

ReplyDeleteThis made my night complete!
ReplyDeleteAt the end of the musical Camelot, King Arthur convinces young Tom Malory that, instead of fighting in the war, he should live and tell the story of what Camelot was like. Someone then comes to tell Arthur the battle is about to begin, and Arthur, looking at the departing boy, says, "We've already won, and there goes our victory."
