The strength it must take to get up in front of people and sing. I personally have only tried once, doing karaoke with friends, and my diaphragm tightened up as soon as I opened my mouth. I could only whisper the lyrics. It's a pity too, because really belting out a song feels so good - as long as no one's listening.

Well done on locking that fear in the basement where she belongs and really good entry this week. Maybe we should take a safari in Balloonhat's world and hunt some Unquiet Doubt together. I bet the whole Brigit's Flame community could merrily join in that quest.
