Things have been busy. I am still writing and I am loving it as usual. I am also acting and singing. I don't know, but I think I have recently renewed or awakened the creative side of my life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;I was in a church play and I got so many good comments on my performance...It's amazing how much I enjoyed performing. I had a ball! So, I am taking all opportunities and venturing out in hopes of reaching another level. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;However, I am a chicken, a scaredy cat, I'm yella! I have a chance to audition for a play today that I believe I can do. But, I have never auditioned for a play, at least not for one that will charge people to see. I don't have a monologue or a simple song that I can sing to show off my voice and it's range. I am plagued with fears of failure or ridicule. I have prayed over it and I have thought it through. But, I am too chicken. What if I am horrible? What if I am a joke? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should I allow the few compliments I received at church to enlarge my head and later step out and fall over?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know. Maybe I just need more training. Maybe if I can get my hands on some books and take a couple of acting classes, I will gain more confidence. Maybe!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11765713-114192737822074021?l=loverofwords.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://loverofwords.blogspot.com/feeds/114192737822074021/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11765713&amp;postID=114192737822074021' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11765713/posts/default/114192737822074021'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11765713/posts/default/114192737822074021'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://loverofwords.blogspot.com/2006/03/creative-talent-maybe.html' title='Creative Talent?
