Mutual trust is needed for the sharing of personal true stories. I also like the way people often come to a workshop with a firm idea of the story they’re going to tell and then end up telling a completely different one, because of something that happened in the story circle.

Thanks for this post! Now others will benefit from your suggestions.

There is something to be said for activities that break down any barriers folks may have. Once barriers are down and stories start flowing, the possibilities are many. Participants in some cases choose a completely different topic during the session or modify their writing along the way based on how comfortable they feel in the group and whether they feel okay with sharing rather personal stories.

Again, thanks for the support and all the best at #ds8. My plan is to join in on the fun at #ds9.

Kent

A while ago you were kind enough to say some nice things about a story I published on Cowbird (entitled, ‘I heard you’).

I have decided to throw caution to the wind and to try to become the writer I always wanted to be (cripes!). To this end, I quit my job 5 months ago and I’ve set up a blog to, amongst other things, discuss my experience, my motivations etc (clearly one of them was to spend more time with my son). Anyway, it would be great if you got in touch. (You seem very experienced and I am sure I could learn a lot from you.)

I’d like to say thank you for your review once again. When I came across it on the internet it made my day.

Best,

The simplest way to be able to share what you make into your digital story is to use your own stuff.
But also be aware of possible misuse by others if you do allow derivitives in licensing your completed digital story. Gareth

A clear and direct summary. I like your example in the last paragraph.

Cheers, Fred

In case the machine is running Windows XP, for instance, the particular memory ceiling is 3.25GB. The installation of in excess of this would simply constitute just a waste. Make sure one’s motherboard can handle an upgrade volume, as well. Interesting blog post.
