Big day

Whew! I did a webinar today in front of 300 people!

My pal Rachelle and I presented a class on some princples of story structure to a very engaged audience of writers. The slide deck was good looking, we were well-rehearsed, and we got a zillion questions and some very complimentary feedback.

Pages & Platforms, our three-woman business, has grown a bit since our first outing. That was a vendor table at a local book fair. If it were just me, nothing more would have ever happened. Heck, THAT wouldn't have happened. But because there are three of us with different skills and zones of genius, we barrel forward at the speed of Sue. All the sales and marketing stuff she understands is lightyears outside my interest, and my skills for the technical modern web stuff are rough at best.

But I love designing courses, writing blog posts, and conducting group calls with the writers in our club, where we talk about story. I like making podcasts and editing video. I love story theory.

So today was a win and I think it's ice cream time.

By the way, I'm sorry you missed out on the reading party. The next one's on Sunday the 13th. IM me it you'd like to join.

That's how I felt when it was all done. :D

Three hundred people! That is exciting. I'm glad they were engaged; that's a big group to manage. I would absolutely eat some ice cream!

Fortunately, on Zoom you can't see them (or hear them), so it's not too terrifying. But comments were flying by in the chat box, a very rough approximation of audience response. It's an interesting experience.
