A few weeks ago, I went to hear Etgar Keret give a talk. It’s rare to find a great writer who’s just as great a storyteller. Really, they are very different activities and require very different skills. Often times, I hear writers speak and just want them to stop talking so I can go […]
I was so moved by this talk that my friend and wonderful storyteller Laura Simms sent me – she worked with Dr Lynne Jones with the children in Haiti – it’s so worth listening to….
I don’t have to get up so early these days. The kids aren’t going to school and I’m loving the extra hour or so that I get to sleep. It was my usual morning walk with the dog. I’ve been trying to get out even more than usual, blessed by living so close to nature […]
