Perhaps transform it into an mp3 and send it to me? I'm curious now. And of course, I remember the writer's camp, that was really wonderful and so much fun. Best wishes for the upcoming one.<br />Thank you Barryaquariusmishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340786718196581655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4933427732771629627.post-28571398460029253452010-04-08T18:28:03.851-07:002010-04-08T18:28:03.851-07:00It's interesting, what your boss said, about w...It's interesting, what your boss said, about writing being good for your soul. I think, on the whole, she is right. Coming to terms with our inner lives IS soulwork. It's not to be confused, of course, with its twin, performance, which is too often ego-stroking work that is NOT good for the soul. The soul thrives on honesty,on depth, on essence - not onmask, or persona, or 'keeping up appearances'. <br />I've just read the 'autobiography of the Two Ronnies - written by Ronnie Corbett (Ronnie Barker is dead now). Barker had a iteresting relationship wit performance. He could only appear in public in a ROLE - as a performer. If asked to, say , launch a book, or speak at a public function, he generally declined; he hated 'being exposed' - that is, he hated "Ronnie Barker" being exposed. When he agreed to take part, it was always as one of his alter egos - characters he'd created on TV.<br />I'm increasingly realising - the further I'm away, the longer I'm away - what a two edged sword performance is. Some of the people in our course mistook the mask wearing for THE real purpose.<br />You are sounding in good nick Michelle. I'm off to Lake Cullulleraine in two wek's time for the 16th Annual Irymple Sec College Writers' Camp.<br />I listened to a song you wrote there recently, on a tape ... about sharp pencils and seeing the point.<br />Do you remember?<br /><br />Bye for now.

hmm... and 'troppp...'AN Arts graduate'<br /><br />hmm... and 'troppp' is obviously not a word, I don't think any language repeats three symbols in a row. <br />Ironically so, it is 'troppo' = too much<br /><br />sorry for these typo comments I really should spend more time re-reading before posting.aquariusmishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340786718196581655noreply@blogger.com
