Tue, 29 April 2008 Join me for an interview with SCN member and author Linda Wisniewski. We talk about her recently published memoir, "Off Kilter: A Woman's Journey to peace with scoliosis, her mother, and her Polish heritage." Linda tells us about her experience with writing as healing, and she gives us some great tips on how to pursue publication. And listen with me to some fantastic listener
contributions from our
Listener Line. I invited Internet Chapter e-circle members to share
their 6-word memoir. One of these lucky contributors will win a copy of
Linda's book! This month, call our Listener Line and tell us why you read women's memoir. You'll be entered into next month's drawing for a lifewriting goody! Episode contents: Interview - 1:47 Web resources mentioned in this episode:

Sun, 30 March 2008 Join us for the April "Spring Break" episode of the SCN podcast. The daffodils have bloomed, the grass is turning green, and summer is on the way. What's that mean? Spring Break! The SCN podcast is taking a small vacation, too, so we don't have a guest interview this month. But tune in for some quick tips on getting started with a tough project and sprucing up boring writing. Then tune in for our May episode when I talk to SCN member and author Linda Wisniewski about her recently published memoir "Off Kilter."

Remember, we all have a story to tell. Comments[0] |
Sat, 1 March 2008 Join me this month for a three-part interview with the Story Circle Book Reviews web site team. Yes, that's a mouthful—but these ladies accomplish a handful and more! I'll talk to Paula Yost about the basics of the book reviews site, Susan Albert about how they decide which books to review, and Linda Wisniewski about how you can become a reviewer. The web site is a huge undertaking and is one of the ways Story Circle Network supports women's literature. If you're looking for ways to become involved with SCN, or to get some writing clips for your portfolio, you won't want to miss this episode! If you'd like to jump from one interview to the next, here are the approximate times:

Wed, 2 January 2008 Here is the bonus podcast I promised you! So many listeners have told me how much they enjoy the music in the SCN podcast. I choose the music hoping that it might spark your inner muse. Music is such a wonderful prompt for our writing, be it serious, funny, spiritual, or anywhere in between. If you like these songs, consider purchasing the entire album from your favorite performer. I've included links to their Podsafe Music Network pages. Enjoy!
