“Is it possible to be more stressed than I already am?”
— Me, stressing
Typically when your are chosen to be in a play, it is exciting. For me, it was not. This was because I idiotically chose to be the main character of the play and I had an astounding amount of lines. Even as I read over the lines I was getting tongue tied and skipping words. I just knew it was going to be hard for me.
As stressful and last minute as everything may have been, I feel as though our play will turn out quite well. This has truly been an experience for me. Although I still improvise on a few of my line, I believe that I will still keep the flow of the play steady without having it throw thing off track. Thanks for reading my blog, the actress is signing off.
After our group decided on costumes and which time period our play was going to be set in, things turned for the better… and worst. We noting that we were doing our version of the play exactly how it was originally scripted. That was not good at all especially since we were wanted to get a good grade on it. But to our advantage, we decided to change to costumes were going to wear, the soundtrack to the play, and time period it was going to be set in. That sound easy, but it was not so easy after all.
The following weeks of me practicing my line went smoothly, because I didn’t at all. I came back from our Thanksgiving break knowing less than what I already knew. I was time to get down to business. I began to memorize my lines literally an hour before class started. Thanks to my wonderful brain, I was able to memorize just about all of my lines.

Why do this?
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
