It's only a story, you say. So it is, and the rest of life with it - creation story, love story, horror, crime, the strange story of you and I.

If you gauge how you're doing on whether somebody is responding vocally or not, you're up a creek. You can't do that; you kind of have to be inside of your work and play the scene.
