I just signed up for the Following gadget which you'll see near my photo on the right. It's my hope that you will join me so that we can have a conversation about all the interesting things in our world and beyond.
Having just completed Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed, this topic is on my mind. I write stories, tell them, too, but folks can rummage around in the brain matter and come up with some pretty incredible material. Of late, I've been writing darker stories. I don't know if has anything to do with the last four years of recession or not, but I do know I've been influenced by this period of time, much like rings on a tree. We cannot live untouched by what happens around us.
By the way, since the world loves stories, check out the Jonesborough Storytellers Guild website. We are also on Facebook.
About Me
- saundra
- Born in Tallahassee, the capital of Florida, I am a genuine Florida Cracker--a descendent of sturdy women and men who farmed their way south from North Carolina in the early 1800's. I am a graduate of Florida State University with a BS in Social Science, and earned an MA in Education/Storytelling from East Tennessee State University. My work is deeply influenced by a love and reverence for the natural world and environmental issues and my love of story. Performance Photos by Valerie Menard, Silentlightimages.com.
