"Getting the Story" by Jan DeBlieu sounds like me

I follow a blog, Searching for Seva, Finding Wholeness Again by Helping Others. The author is Jan DeBlieu.  This is the link to her blog.  http://www.jandeblieu.com/blog/

Jan DeBlieu

Jan has a journalism background, and like me, she likes to hear the stories of others. My readers know I love to interview interesting people and post their words on my blog. My memoir classes are such fun for me to teach because I hear the unique stories of my students. When we write about ourselves and read our stories aloud in class, we get feedback and get an opportunity to explain more about us. Most of us just want to be heard.

Read Jan's latest newsletter article, Getting the Story, and you might see how much she and I have in common. You might also relate to her story..

 

Guest Post for Robert Lee Brewer's blog on Writers' Digest site

I don't often seek out guest posting opportunities, but recently Robert Lee Brewer, Senior Content Editor, Writer's Digest Community placed an invitation on his blog asking for anyone who had a good idea for a guest post to send him an email. I did, and he requested I write the post and send it to him.

He published it today. You can read it here.

The poet  Karen Paul Holmes, is the subject of my interview and you can read that interview here. 

Karen Paul Holmes, author of Untying the Knot

What do you think? Would you rather read a review of a book or read an interview with the author?

Good Read on this link

I want to share this link with you. It is an interview with Jane Hirshfield, poet and writer, about her collection of essays and her latest book of poems. On the sidebar, click "The Love of Aged Horses." It brought tears to my eyes. But I love horses, aged or young.
