Business is Booming

I’m often asked how my business is doing in this economy and I’m happy to say that we’re booming.  It seems when things get tough (or even confusing), people search for meaning.  And that’s what we do in helping writers tell their stories.  We facilitate the search for meaning.

In our Saturday Master Class, we debated about the main character under discussion and whether it was likely that he’d be able to be unaware of time in the given situation.  We talked about how far along this character would have been on his journey toward enlightenment (he is something of a Buddhist, but we’re not sure how much.)    We focused on just this one moment in a work in progress, and yet there was so much meat to the topic.  Of course it helps that this group has worked together now for almost two years.  We know each other pretty well and we trust each other and we can also point out where we go wrong! 

I feel lucky to engage in such a process with writers.  I feel blessed to work in the same way with our young authors.  They search for meaning as well.   Please check out this link to an article about Kids Talk Story in the Sunday March 1 Honolulu Advertiser.  http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2009903010323
