Successfully Zesting

When we take Miri on a walk, which admittedly happens rarely, she marks with urine as dogs do, and Adam calls it zesting. So this morning, I commented that she had successfully zested, and now I want there to be a song with that lyric. I’m opening it to anyone, because when I try to compose it, it just sounds like a jingle*.

 

*I would be a master jingle writer (a jingler?), if I cared to do so.

Jealousy as a tool

Hello!

I’m at a lull. I just finished a book and am waiting for the next of 3 in the series, but other than that, I’m auditionless, voice-wise.

I had a lovely therapy last week, learning that feelings, even shitty ones like jealousy, are messages telling you what you need.

So the Audies were last night. And I looked at the winners and WUZ JELLUSS. After I congratulated my longtime friendsister* who won**, I listened to what the jealousy was telling me, and signed up for Narrator’s Roadmap. It is the next step, one I would have liked to have done 2 years ago but wasn’t ready. But now I am.

I respect my process. I do. But sometimes I wish it was*** just a little faster.

 

*She’s the one who actually got my switch flipped and started me narrating

**And I’m SO PROUD of her!!!!

***Sorry, it’s probably “were” but that just didn’t sound right.
