The webcast

[vaneramos]

I nearly missed the webcast because a thunderstorm cut power at 3:45, six minutes before air time. I sat cursing as this sluggish computer rebooted, hitting cancel when the ScanDisk dialogue appeared. Norton Antivirus took forever to load. Okay, a minute, which seemed forever. I reached the website with two minutes to spare. Lightning flashed around throughout the story, but never interrupted me again.

It was amazing to hear someone I've never met read my work live from Paris. I feel all squiggly. The audio was marginal, and with Barbara Campbell's moderate Australian accent I might not have understood it if I didn't know the words. Maybe it's just my computer. Did anyone else see it?

I hope some of my writer friends will consider submitting. This was only day 24; 1,077 to go. A hint: you're supposed to pick a story thread from the previous day or another episode. She appreciated that I used more than one thread: Virginia's character and the village setting from yesterday's story, and the hanging theme from "everyone can dance".

She invited me to write again, and I will. Thanks to grandiva1968 for pointing out this project.

Now back to Waterspout 3, in progress.

Apparently she wants that aspect of the project to be ephemeral, but I agree; it would be nice to be able to view the webcasts later. Thanks for trying.

Do you and Kevin have plans this weekend? I have a car and, other than a party in Waterloo on Saturday afternoon, some free time, an unusual luxury in summer.

Wow! I didn't hear it, but what a neat affirmation of your real existence as a writer!

Yes, it was an exciting day!

The closeup of her mouth juxtaposed with your new icon... I keep hearing this sinister dominatrix voice ordering calmly "that's right, Van, you will lick the pen... you will suck the pen... you will WORSHIP the pen..." and the innocent looking biro morphs into a huge, veined dildo...

I think I need to get more rest.

Or more sex perhaps.

A dominatrix? I really don't want to go there! ;-)
