@hollyhoneychurch this is amazing!! Maybe you could play it in your lovely gardens and think of the birds as your people audience? 🤔 and then when you feel confident with them then go on stage and imagine the real people are the lovely birds 😃😆 feel like imagining birds seems less scary? 🥰 you’ve got this!! 🤩 I can relate to the feeling though, while I’m not on a stage while writing - I think words can bring judgement from others and of self when published in public. Which had its pros and cons, One step at a time 🌸
