A Rising Tide...Guest Bloggers Share Their Expertise

A few months ago I reached my 2012 personal blog goal of 100,000 readers. I am a firm believer in the quote, "A rising tide floats all boats"  so I decided to share the audience with my intelligent and creative colleagues in the form of Guest Blogger articles. The response has been…See More

Unlock the Possibilities - Blog It Baby! at Private home

November 12, 2011 from 11am to 3:30pm
I have been asked a number of times about the in's and out's of blogging so I thought I would offer a workshop. I know some say blogging has gone the way of the dinosaur because everyone is all "a twitter" but while they are both useful I look at twitter as an appetizer and blogging as the main course. :)I am offering a four hour workshop on blogging at my home in Massachusetts. I am 60 minutes south of Boston and 50 minutes east of Providence. The workshop will be a combination of information…See More

Tales, Technology and Techniques - Ancient Tradition Meets the 21st Century

In 2008 I was invited to particpate in a panel discussion at the National Storytelling Conference. Although I was unable to attend at the last minute due to a family members passing, I put together this handout for the attendees. I updated the information today and although the article is posted at my website, http://www.storybug.net/ on the Publications Page, I thought it might be useful here as well. I hope you find some new ideas to help you market your… Continue

THE BUSINESS SIDE OF STORYTELLING

Running your own business can be liberating but it can also resemble running through a maze, constantly trying to catch up, find your way, peek over the next obstacle...in short, being your own boss can be exhausting!

Hi Andrea,

I have a meeting at 5:00, not sure what time it will end. I will do my best to be on the call. If I am not there make sure to let the folks know that I am working on an open mic series in New Bedford. The kickoff is November 1 at a fundraiser to get the word out. I mentioned this awhile ago on LANES, we are taking the first steps. I will let everyone know when the dates, other than 11/1 are firm.

Thanks for the personal invite :) I will do my best to chime in.
