Oh, I'm glad to meet another introvert who doesn't like big parties! I think you and I would hang out together in a gala like this!
Some suggestions:
"Sorry, I need to visit with Lynechka. (Lyenochka) You got it right later.
if Judiverse is planning and crime for my Beth (a crime for my Bertha)
Pam Lonsdale and Roy Own. (Owen)
Robert Zimmerman and NewoNewman. (NeoNewman)
Rick My World and Jim Vecchino. (RicMyWorld and Jim Vecchio)

Thank you for the help. I only edited it once after I wrote it. My novels I edit for months.
Comment from jmdg1954
Great post Barbara. After raiding four boys, bring a military wife, writing Manon many novels and getting them published, your each? No way.
I'm Glad you got to meet all the writers after all.
Excellent,
John

LOl I'm honestly shy in large crowds. I'm silent. One on one is a different story. Thank you for the kind review.
Comment from Rachelle Allen
Ohhh, Barbara! This is absolutely DELIGHTFUL!! Because soo many writers are very VERY shy people. (Okay, don't tell anyone, but I'm actually a total dud at parties, myself. I honest-to-gawd stay in one spot and do not move the entire night...and it is NOT in the middle of the room. It's exactly like you: somewhere off the main course, and usually on a couch.) So that's why this chapter by you is so extremely appealing. You voiced every Little Voice I have, myself. Always noticing every last little detail, and THINKING to go over and meet people, but not actually doing it.
So I admire your bravery for making yourself mingle here.
Btw, the Romper Room Magic Mirror schtick? HILARIOUS!!! Soooo totally hilarious!! "What friends can I see here today?" Omigoodness! The memories you evoked with THAT treasure!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I have news for you, my dear, you muse is SOOOO not sleeping. She served you very, very well here. I absolutely love this chapter.
Thank you for contributing and for warming up my entire night with your talents. This is a perfect chapter. I regret I have no more sixes left.xoxoxo

You're way to sweet. I honestly wasn't too pleased with what I came up with, but you warmed my heart. Thank you.
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
I like the way you convey the very real concern we all have here safely tucked away behind our computers and protected from the realities of meeting face to face. To be suddenly immersed with these food throwing, worst for wear members in a room from which the only escape is under the table (like the very sensible Gretchen) is possibly akin to a bit of a nightmare:)) Well done, Barbara. I enjoyed. Debbie

Comment from jim vecchio
Glad you wrote this. There were a few misspellings, but I don't think many will notice. It's good to have a site like this where we can have fun with one another nd not lose our tempers. I'm glad I arrived after the stripper. I told my wife I'd behave.

LOL Thank you for the kind review. I had fun with it, but my worst fear is I forgot somebody and their feelings will be hurt.

This was a fun piece. Someone would have to be very shallow to begrudge it.
Comment from Jacob1395
I could definitely picture the scene as I was reading, Barbara and thank you for the mention, I was probably still recovering after singing on stage. I really enjoyed reading it, it's another brilliant addition to this book.

Comment from Paul McFarland
Nice post, Barb. Christine said I was there, but I don't remember a thing. I think she was pulling my leg. Wendy didn't see me, so I guess Christine was pulling a fast one.

No, I'm sure you were there. You were probably like me and hiding in the background. My worst fear is that I'd forget one of my friends and I see that I did. I'm so very sorry. I am going back and adding you to my post.
-
No apologies needed.
-
That was my biggest fear. I have now added you. I am truly sorry.
Comment from GWHARGIS
The longhorn steering gag was funny. Sounded a tad painful but still funny. You didn't leave out many. And regardless of a food fight, I'm introverted enough to hide under the table. Lol. Great addition. Makes me so happy a bunch of yall are running with this. Gretchen

Thank you for this kind review. My biggest fear is I might have left a friend out and will hurt their feelings.
Comment from Begin Again
Wouldn't it be marvelous and exciting to meet all our friends? I'm not one to be on a stage talking, but one-on-one, I'm good. And yes, I believe Garth will be in the next book, too. I enjoyed seeing all the people in your story, and I, too, would have loved to meet Sunny and Harley if they'd been there. I could have taken a long walk with them.
Smiles, Carol
