Speak Up Storytelling #9: Alan Mackenzie

Episode #9 of Speak Up Storytelling is now ready for your listening pleasure.

On this week’s episode, we talk about finding and crafting stories in your everyday life using my strategy “Homework for Life.” I describe how doing a deep dive on a particular day of your life can help you find stories and explain how I might tell the story of a friend’s move to the west coast. 

Next, we listen to a story by Alan Mackenzie about being the new kid in town in search of friendship and love. Then Elysha and I discuss the strengths of his fantastic story as well as suggestions for improvement.

Finally, we answer a listener question about telling stories to children.
