Speak Up Storytelling Kathy Binder: "Permanence and Regret"
On episode #96 of the Speak Up Storytelling podcast, Matthew and Elysha Dicks talk storytelling!
In our follow up segment, we discuss our absence for the last couple weeks, share emails from listeners around the world, and describe upcoming events.
In our Homework for Life segment, I talk about identifying and crafting seemingly tiny moments into stories.
Next we listen to a story by Kim Damokosh.
Amongst the many things we discuss include:
-
Scenes and backstory
-
Telling stories that take place over a long period of time chronologically
-
Humor and vulnerability
-
Losing the thread of your story
-
Topic sentences and thesis statements
Next we answer a question about hero stories
Lastly, we each offer a recommendation.
