Well, that was a hoot. It was supposed to be an hour interview and it went to an hour and 15 minutes. I had no idea I could babble on so. I don't know about you, but I hate listening to my own voice, but now I"ve done so and I don't think I embarrassed myself too much. If you want to listen to it, it's here: http://blogtalk.vo.llnwd.net/o23/show/3/191/show_3191593.mp3
I have no idea how many listeners there were, but I have taken the attitude that the fewer listeners there were, the more precious they are to me.
I was nervous as hell. My shirt was soaked afterward. I 'd do it again in a heart beat. It's like I'm finally talking about what I've been wanting to talk about all these years.
I would point out that "active listening" just doesn't work well in this sort of format - her constant "yeah? OK" etc. was VERY annoying! It's one thing in a conversation, but when an interview is being recorded, all it does it interrupt, y'know? :-) Anyway, lots of interesting stuff - I've only just started listening, so I'm sure I'll be commenting more after awhile :-)
ReplyDeleteHey, send her my way for editing; I have a few spots here and there open :-)

DeleteInteresting idea for a story - vet back from the war, trying to reintegrate with society. Huh?? Was thinking about the discussion you and Heidi were having about that. I'll bet you could come up with something.
