Show, Tell and Share

I’m involved with a podcast called Art Share – www.art-share.org. Every week, a group of us get together to talk about creativity. We’re a varied bunch, writing in various forms, fine artists, illustrators, folk who make pottery, jewellery… We also get input from people who work at the more businesslike end of creative industry. It’s an interesting mix, we get questions sent in, and all manner of topics come up.

We’re focused on fiction this month. Last week we were talking about the writing issue of show or tell – it’s about how you put your story across to the reader. We didn’t get into the mechanics of how this can work in practice, so I recorded an art-share extra, and after some pondering, it seemed most sense to put it here and let art-share link back.

So if you were wondering what I sound like (with a cold)… this is me. Unscripted, so not as perfectly fluid as might be optimal. Thank you Lurkertype for encouraging me to branch out a bit! If this works, I may do some more spoken (or sung) word pieces, tapping into that whole oral Druid culture thing. Do let me know in the comments whether this works for you, if it does, I’ll drop more of these into the plan. (I say plan… that might be over egging it…)
