Alright, it’s not that drastic. I went and talked to Betsy today about my story for Monday. We decided it’s best not to go with it and me as we are. She thought it was good and has nice structure but is a bit preachy, complicated, and if I can’t get through it emotionally (probably not) then that would be putting a bit much on the class. I agree. Maybe I can do something with part of it, we discussed the ribbons, for my 3rd story. I’ll be switching to a cute little ditty by Syd Barrett and I’ll even get to try it out 1st on children Sunday! Anna’s a little young but Ian’s about right. I hadn’t meant to tell any specifically kids’ stories but why not? I mean I’m not ready to tell mine in a group this open; maybe I don’t trust myself. Actually I don’t, maybe I should say that’s the biggest holdup. Hell, if I could get through it straight I’d drop it right in their laps as it stands. No excuses, just thanks for listening and there it is.
Maybe I’ll put it here soon. I’m ready to tell parts of my story to more people, just maybe not so many face-to-face all at once. I mean I had no problem with Anna (different one; PhD student, not baby) the other day. OK did get a little choked up, and I did sort of snap at her. Sorry, Anna. I said it the other day and I still mean it.
Maybe I will put it here. It needs a little different structure though 1st. It needs to put it back to reading structure, not telling structure.

The story that I could not tell for Storytelling
Here is the story that I wanted to relate for my 2nd story in Storytelling, but was unable to do so.
