I've "done" the Moth" three times in NY. It was the scariest, most humbling, most exhilarating experience of my writing life. Despite the writing and practicing, you never know what's going to fly out your mouth at any time. I pushed the limits in ways I still feel contrained at a keyboard. At heart I think we are all children who love to listen. The Moth archives their stories on their website. Maybe I'll get my nerve up again.
