Holy moly. I actually videotaped myself reading from the opening of Scrap: Salvaging a Family.
Can’t stand seeing myself or hearing myself.
🙈🙉
I’m a little insecure about it, so feel free to “like” it on youtube ;).
It’s a little over 2 minutes long. Thanks for watching.
Luanne, I think this is wonderfully brave. Reading our own work aloud, especially something as personal as Scrap: Salvaging a Family, can feel very vulnerable. What I saw was not nervousness but courage and authenticity. Congratulations on taking that step and sharing your story in your own voice.
Oh thank you so much, Rebecca. It means a lot coming to you because you are so experienced on camera and in recording your voice!!!
I always take a big breath and then take the leap, Luanne. You just made my day with your reading!!!
Aw you are so sweet!
🤗🤗🤗
Luanne, you did really well. So much braver than I could ever be. Very interesting content too. Good job!
Thank you so much, Anneli. It’s amazing how much work goes into just a little clip like this. At least concentrating on that gave me something to focus on other than my anxiety.
I want to hear you read the whole book. Is this asking too much?
You managed it well, with increasing momentum as you relaxed into it
I don’t know why, but I get Syliva Plath when you read. I thought it was wonderful.
Brave of you to take the leap, Luanne. I hate seeing myself on camera, too. I agree with Derrick.
Well done!
