The Beginning 9/13/07

My, my, I am finally posting my very first blog ever. Today is a great day to be doing it too. Why you ask? This is the Frisco Storytelling Festival weekend and I have just spent several blissful hours listening to Beth Horner, Doug Lipman, David Novak and Bobby Norfolk tell tales. I go back in just another hour to hear the last concert. The concert's theme is "Humorous Tales" - my favorite! I'm the kind of gal that likes to laugh!

I decided to start a blog, because I've been having such a hard time creating a website. The blog will work for a bit until I get the pesky website up & going. Creating stories and performing them are a breeze compared to anything that has to do with business and technology.

***sigh***

That's life though. If I'm going to be a professional storyteller I need to get a handle on the business side of it.

That said, I have two performances coming up next week. Both are on the same day and consist of entirely different stories. On Friday, Oct. 19 I'm doing a 30 minute program for a retirement community, and then I drive over to the Dallas Museum of Art and doing a 30 minute program for their Friday Late Night event. It'll all be fun though. Then I will start preparing my Halloween Story for the Dallas Storytelling Guild's event on Halloween at the Bath House at 7 pm on Halloween night. Oh my, but I love me some good spooky tales.

Well, that's it for a beginning. On my next blog, I'll attempt to post a picture. Yes, this ol' gal is going to get this blogging business figured out!
