First, I want to say thank you to Dar for her awesome prompt of the day, the word “solo.”
Back in the day (you know, back when I walked uphill both ways to get to school), I was in the school band. I tried out the trumpet at first, but I sucked at it. Eventually I settled on the clarinet.
I was interested enough in playing that I got into my high school concert band. But I was never good enough to be invited to play a solo. That honour usually went to my best friend, Tracey.
I’m not bitter. Really, I’m not.
Still, though I was never good enough at the clarinet, I’m glad I finally found something I am good at.
And now, in both my writing and editing careers, I’m nothing but solo.
The good news? I’m always the number one employee!
Go me!

I played flute but never got further than second chair. No solos for me!

Yep, I think I only made it to second chair once because someone was sick. 😛 I always wanted to play the flute!
