Authors wobble but they don't fall down

I am happy today because I made myself go to dance class last night even though my shoulder hurts, my knee is injured, there was a snowstorm, and I was overtired, having slept only 3 hours the night before. Pain and suffering aside, I successfully nailed a move I had not counted on acheiving until 2008 or thereabouts. Glory Be! My novel may not be published yet, but did J.D. Salinger ever balance his knees on his elbows and then tip into a headstand, all in time to music? No, I didn’t think so. Big shout out to my teachers, Ms. Mighty, Blazin’ and MaeHem.
