I was chosen to be one of the readers for an online creative writing reading event this afternoon and made it through one of the Sentenced to Venice poems I'd chosen and then broke down during the second one because I had foolishly chosen the one that ended his funeral. I'd had a good lunch and was actually believing I could do it. I even made a "Buy My Book" sign to put behind me on the zoom (though I didn't do so). But I made it through the first line and then couldn't continue. Sigh.
Only the second time I've ever left the stage in tears.
Once again, harder than I thought it would be.
Ridi.
