Some thoughts on slow motion activism and Critical Resistance PDX’s #WriteThemAll campaign.
This week I’m thrilled to announce the release of my latest podcast episode with writing coach Deb Norton, a long-time friend and extraordinary creative resource. I’ve known Deb since I was 13.

Let’s take a brief trip back in time to January, 2016. When Jessica Abel started posting the podcast adaptation of her storytelling handbook Out on the Wire, I was totally hooked.

In previous years I’ve been really inspired by my studiomate Natalie Nourigat‘s year-end wrap-up posts, so I thought I’d do one of my own for 2014/2015!

Let’s Rumble

I know the video says Friday, but we were alerted to the fact that people have these things called “weekends” where they’re generally off enjoying the sunshine rather than trawling the web for worthy new projects to back.

Fortunately, everything was resolved satisfactorily — aside from the fact that our family road … Continue reading The Shift
