Anyway, when I'm talking, I make sure that their attention is focused on what I'm talking about and not on something else. :)Norbert Flothhttp://www.sjroofing.net/locations/woodstock-roofing-painting-more/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571157.post-39833834708778781302012-01-05T08:47:28.077-06:002012-01-05T08:47:28.077-06:00I too love the bright yellow house!

It sneaks up on me; suddenly, startlingly, there it is! Where did THAT come from??<br /><br />I love the yellow house!

Interesting, too, to read that some storytellers recognize 'story voice', and work to make a telling more natural than that. (I have noticed that poets often read with 'poetry voice', which sounds so mannered to my untutored ear).Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571157.post-28375311504302251922012-01-03T20:32:02.169-06:002012-01-03T20:32:02.169-06:00Really good post, Priscilla.

I am enjoying doing hand clapping games with children before programming - so much fun. <br /><br />Thanks for also sharing about the "story voice." I constantly have to remind myself to stop it. Glad someone else can relate.

My friend Sarah just gave me the orange and yellow chair on the front porch--perfect with the yellow house. <br /><br />And Marni, I'm going to see you at Sharing the Fire in March!

I can see you Pied-harmonicing or just being your kid-like self as listeners wander in and check you out. Thanks for the smile in this new year - and that HOUSE! Wow.

As a writer, I find I need to have a thorough understanding of my character's backgrounds and experiences in order to write the actual story. LIke you, I don't use that information, but it's very helpful to have in your head. BTW, I LOVE the colour of your house.
