Words from a Reader

The “Writing Life Stories” e-mails I receive are such treasures. As soon as I see there is one in my inbox, I read it immediately. I look forward to them and never know how they will touch me. They can be interesting, informative, humorous, and/or touching.

Silas House says: No One Can Make You Feel Inferior Without Your Consent



A few years ago I had the pleasure of hearing Silas House speak at a NCWN Fall Conference in Asheville, NC.
I knew he was a good writer, but I enjoyed his speech more than anyone I've ever heard at a conference. He definitely has a deep southern accent. He said when he went to New York to speak with his publisher and others, he could tell they had to get used to his way of speaking. 

House, the author of numerous books among his other achievements, tells us how, ten years ago, he did not let someone make him feel ashamed or inferior because of his Kentucky accent. Instead, House enjoyed proving this man wrong.

Silas House - Do you know who he is?

One of the reasons I am looking forward to the NCWN Fall Conference in Asheville,NC November 18-20 is that Silas House will be giving the Keynote Address on Friday night at 8:00 p.m. I keep reading about this man and hearing about him from others, and I know this will be an excellent speech. Have you visited his website and his blog? I think you will be impressed by Silas House when you read the following post from his blog:
