wishusJust got back from the Halloween Slam, so I can stop feeling nervous now.
I had a wonderful first round and got into the semi-final. This is what I set out to achieve and had no hopes of getting further than that... actually, my mom reckons I managed to mentally sabotage my chances of getting in the final, as I messed up the poem in the second round, but still amazingly, managed to get a really good score - higher than my first round,in fact. Ah well, chalk it up. I need to do more of these things to increase in confidence and I'll do better another time, maybe.
It was lovely to see some people I know from Wolverhampton. I was disappointed that Jane wasn't there, but I should come back more often really.
Anyway, I had some good responses from people, and it was a most fun night, and the curry was lovely.
The slam was won by Brenda Read-Browne, who is quite simply, excellent.
I will put my editing head back on now. After a bit of a kip, that is.
