I got taken to classical concerts all the time as a kid, but nothing like this. Looks more like a festival vibe.Nick Wilfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841776353790635132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767025342430483177.post-86063469493924114162012-07-24T21:48:38.077-04:002012-07-24T21:48:38.077-04:00That is impressive cutting 10k just like that.

Sounds like the concert was a good time...I could probably do Mozart for a short time...don't know about a full concert.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676928110297819368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767025342430483177.post-42043194343293995742012-07-23T22:23:53.666-04:002012-07-23T22:23:53.666-04:0010,000!

The publicity workshop in Philadelphia was phenomenal. It helped give me clarity on how to connect with the target audience on an emotional level as I promote my book. My 10-second speech made some grown men cry. At first, I was taken aback by that. Then again, I knew I spoke from the heart.Reikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13443056196571522239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767025342430483177.post-15582585235296996352012-07-23T11:31:14.736-04:002012-07-23T11:31:14.736-04:00Fantastic.

Your weekend sounds infinitely better than mine. :) That Mozart orchestra/picnic thing sounds wonderful.<br /><br />As for cutting words, I know exactly what you mean. I recently lopped off somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 words. How does that even happen?! :DJaime Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023932422477544525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767025342430483177.post-56572107937427714032012-07-23T09:40:37.967-04:002012-07-23T09:40:37.967-04:00I know cutting is often necessary, but it does fee...I know cutting is often necessary, but it does feel yucky. Looks like you had a great time this weekend. Would your mom consider a kid exchange program? I'd so, I have the kids. Lol kidding.
