Winners and Losers at the CMAs and Life

I love country music and almost every country performer. While watching the CMAs, I enjoyed seeing the winners accept their awards. On the other hand, it was hard for me to see the losers do their best to appear gracious and for the most part succeeding.

For every winner, there's a loser. In life and in books, it's the same way. How people react to their good and bad fortune shows what their characters are made of.  You don't have to tell a reader who the good guy or  bad guy is. Let their actions speak for themselves. The readers are smart enough to figure it out.

PS Can't finish this blog without saying - You Rock, Taylor Swift! You are one smart, talented teenager! Congrats on all your awards, especially, Entertainer of the Year!!!

CMA Awards Continued

Taylor Swift did a great job singing Love Story, wearing a long blue gown, with a surprise quick change to a long white one while she was surrounded by the dancers, after which the hunk from the video showed up.

Kid Rock came on, making my husband ask, "Since when did he have a country song?" I told him it's been months.

George Strait sang a song about Rollin on the River of Love - okay song, but not as good as some of his other ones.

Then everybody got down with Jason Aldean, as he sang She's Country.

New Artist of the Year Award presented by Taylor Swift, wearing a short black gown, that makes three different outfits unless I missed one - went to Lady AnteBellum.

More Happening after the commercials
