I'm glad to know about your work! Ecobiography is a helpful term for the kinds of writing I do and for works to which I'm particularly drawn. I started having my students write their ecobiographies a decade ago and they found it stimulating to...

I'm curious about your term "ecobiography." All my memoir writing is grounded in experiences in the natural world. So I'm glad to see this new term of yours!

I like that phrase, "early threads." One of the neat things about my piece "Silos" is that it started in my writing class as a response to a student's prompt. I used Natalie Goldberg's fabulous book, Writing Down the Bones, and the students also...

It's fascinating how we fulfill the call of our early lives without realizing it—until later. I've known many writers and artists who follow the early threads.

Hi Terry--I like the idea of guiding the reader through "why a sequel." I, too, use my blog pearlmoonplenty as a space for writing practice and incubation of story ideas. Pieces of the blog found their way into A Bushel's Worth. Thank you for your...

August 2013

I do have a memoir, and its sequel, in print. In the sequel, I wrote a prologue to guide the reader through the 'why I wrote a sequel' and left it to the reader to decide whether they wanted to know that or not. My first chapter begins where the...

August 2013

Thanks for reminding us that the old double standard starts early. I hated that game Duck, Duck, Goose. We played it once in Girl Scouts and the mean girl who went around the circle squeezed my hair up out of my barrettes like Mickey Mouse ears....

July 2013

With my book, A Bushel's Worth: An Ecobiography, coming out in August from Torrey House Press, this is a great reminder of the power of the very kind of community I write about. It's not always easy to ask favors of one's friends--and even harder to...
