On this episode of Book Talk, I have the pleasure of introducing you to author Holly Varni. She carries a joy that is effervescent and carries through in our conversation. Holly writes books that might remind you of Jan Karon's Mitford series because of the small-town setting and strong sense of community. She also has strong senior citizens who bring their wit and wisdom to the young characters who need their help whether or not the younger characters realize it yet. When she started writing, it was to create simpler stories of joy and community for her mother, who was going through chemotherapy. As a hospice volunteer, Holly would also read her stories to these patients, and when the families would call and ask her to come on her off days to share the next segment of the story, she knew they were accomplishing shat she hoped because you can focus on agony and curiosity at the same time. When she's writing, Holly is going for a laugh and smile which means the stories tip toward the ridiculous in a way that readers love. Her characters are forming community and family in the way that we all long for. She also creates strong female leads that have a unique strength. In The Blooming of Delphinium, it's a sweet strength that allows Delphinium to see the heart of people's character in a way others can't. I don't want to spoil it for you, so I won't say more.

#42 - Was läuft falsch in der Migrationsdebatte, Jan Karon?

Heute zu Gast im based. Podcast: Jan Karon von Nius. Die Polizeiliche Kriminalstatistik wurde in dieser Woche von Innenministerin Nancy Faeser vorgestellt und schlug medial große Wellen. Besonders kontrovers in den sozialen Medien diskutiert: 41% der Straftaten wurden laut der Statistik von Menschen ohne deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft begangen. Unser Gast, Karon, ist freier Investigativjournalist, hat unter anderem für den RBB gearbeitet, ist aktuell Reporter bei Nius und beschäftigt sich hauptsächlich mit dem Thema Migration. Wir fragen den Journalisten, was nun aus der Kriminalstatistik zu schließen ist. Aus anderen Medienhäusern hallt es nach der Bundespressekonferenz, dass hierbei außer Acht gelassen würde, dass die Zahl der nichtdeutschen Bevölkerung gewachsen ist und unter dieser Berücksichtigung gar kein Anstieg der Straftaten vorliege. Auch sei die hohe Zahl von ausländischer Kriminalität durch die im Schnitt häufigeren Kontrollen verfälscht. Der Vorwurf an die Sicherheitsbehörden: Racial Profiling. Was sagt Karon zu diesen Entgegnungen? Nun betont Nancy Faser erneut im Rahmen der Vorstellung der Kriminalstatistik, dass Konsequenzen im Falle von Straftaten von Menschen ohne Staatsbürgerschaft in Form von Abschiebungen nötig seien. Zudem setzt die Ampelregierung seit kurzem auf Grenzkontrollen und eine Bezahlkarte für Flüchtlinge soll kommen. Sind das richtige Schritte? Kommen diese Maßnahmen zu spät? Außerdem sprechen wir mit Jan über ihn, seine Geschichte und seinen Job bei Nius. Das Arbeitsverhältnis des Journalisten ist beim RBB 2022 aufgekündigt worden. Grund dafür war ein Tweet, in dem er den Staat Somalia nach einem Messermord eines Somaliers in Ludwigshafen als "Shithole-Country mit Steinzeit-Kultur" bezeichnete. Hat das seine Arbeit verändert? Wie geht er mit Anfeindungen gegenüber seiner Person um, nur weil er für den "falschen" Arbeitgeber berichtet? Kann er manche Vorwürfe verstehen, wie, dass Nius gern ausschließlich in die Richtung der Grünen trete? Das alles hört ihr in dieser Folge based. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/based_medien⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ---------------------------------------- Anzeige - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://politik-ja-bitte.de/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ In Deutschland kann nicht mehr gesagt werden, was ist.

We chat about her time at the Biltmore, the Jan Karon Museum and what her role is there, why she first shied away from writing books set in real places, and why living in Appalachia is so wonderful. Patrons will get to hear her brag about her dog Thistle. These Tangled Threads by Sarah Loudin ThomasSeven years ago, a hidden betrayal scattered three young friends living in the shadow of Biltmore Estate. Now, when Biltmore Industries master weaver Lorna Blankenship is commissioned to create an original design for Cornelia Vanderbilt's 1924 wedding, she panics knowing she doesn't have the creativity needed. But there's an elusive artisan in the Blue Ridge Mountains who could save her--if only she can find her. To track the mysterious weaver down, Lorna sees no other way but to seek out the relationships she abandoned in shame. As she pulls at each tangled thread from her old life, Lorna is forced to confront the wounds and regrets of long ago. She'll have to risk the job that shapes her identity as well as the hope of friendship--and love--restored. In this seamlessly woven historical tale, award-winning Appalachian author Sarah Loudin Thomas delivers a poignant novel of friendship, artistry, restoration, and second chances.Get your copy of These Tangled Threads by Sarah Loudin Thomas.Sarah Loudin Thomas grew up on a 100-acre farm in French Creek, WV, the seventh generation to live there.

Fiction writer Jan Karon's central character Father Tim replied, " 'Isn't that the way with all of us?...he said everybody's tryin' to swallow somethin' that won't go down.'

Ob Klimawandel, Flüchtlinge, Ukraine-Krieg oder Corona: Über die großen Themen unserer Zeit wird heftig, teils erbittert gestritten. Nicht selten wird dabei auch weit übers Ziel hinausgeschossen. So mancher zieht sich da zurück, übt sich in konformem Verhalten. Über Konformitätsdruck und das Mitlaufen hat Journalist Ralf Schuler das Buch "Generation Gleichschritt - Wie das Mitlaufen zum Volkssport wurde" (Fontis Verlag, 22,90 Euro) geschrieben. Schuler war lange Jahre Leiter der Parlamentsredaktion der BILD-Zeitung, reiste mit der ehemaligen Kanzlerin Angela Merkel um die Welt. Im vergangenen Jahr gab er bekannt, dass er den Springer-Verlag verlässt. In seinem Abschiedsbrief an Geschäftsführung und Chefredaktion verwies er auf den eingeschlagenen Kurs des Hauses und schrieb, er stehe "keiner politischen Bewegung 'fest zur Seite' und halte dies auch ganz grundsätzlich NICHT für die Aufgabe von Journalisten". Mit ihm habe ich mich u.a. über Konformität, sein Leben in der DDR, seinen Weggang von der BILD sowie seinen Wechsel zu Rome Medien von Ex-BILD-Chefredakteur Julian Reichelt unterhalten. Dort unterhält er nun den YouTube-Kanal "Schuler! Fragen, was ist".

gwot.rocks - God, the World, and Other Things!

Some have worked hard to disrupt the use of the sinner's prayer in leading people to salvation in Jesus by leveling charges against its use, claim it's not in the Bible, and it can become formulaic, manipulative and man centered. Some of these charges are outright lies, and others are excuses given that lets them off of the hook to diligently share the simple truth of the Gospel and trust God for the results. It is such arrogance and lack of faith in God to think that we can do anything at all to trip up someone to the point that the person is denied access to heaven and instead goes to hell because of us, and or because of a lack of some communication skillset on our part. If we want to see our cities become vibrant and filled with happy people who live caring, productive lives, it starts with us opening our mouths and talking to them about Jesus, in honest, simple ways. “A New Song” by Jan Karon.

Nach langen Startschwierigkeiten boomt jetzt aber auch das Geschäft mit künstlichen Schmuckdiamanten. Dank neuer Gewinnungsverfahren können sie immer billiger hergestellt werden. Zudem wollen Käufer*innen keine Diamanten mehr, für deren Abbau Arbeiter und Umwelt gelitten haben. Doch sind die synthetischen Klunker genauso faszinierend wie die echten?

Ep 135: What Do I Write Next – Why Not a Series?

A few weeks ago, when I introduced the idea of how we can decide what to write next, I proposed several ways a writer can approach that decision. One was to write whatever’s next in sequence. Write What’s Next in Sequence If you’re writing a novel, tackle the next chapter. Your short story will need the next scene. A poem grows with the next line leading to the next stanza. An article will expand with another paragraph or section. If you write DIY tutorials, you write in sequence to show the viewer or reader what to do next in order, one step after another. The sequential approach can be a logical way to decide within an existing project what to write next. In those cases, the answer is often right in front of us. What’s the Next Action? A simple way to keep those projects moving along is to ask the question “What's the next action?” Answer that, and you often realize right away you must simply write the next line, the next stanza, and so on. This question is an essential element in David Allen's Getting Things Done system, also known as GTD. When you think of a project you’re currently working on or one that you’re considering, try asking “What’s the next action?” Answer it with a statement that begins with a verb. Because we’re talking about writing, the statement will probably begin with “write”: Write chapter 17 Write the last stanza in the poem “Chase the Sun” Write the promo video script Write about the puke-y flight from Brussels for the travel article (yeah…I won’t on it elaborate here) “What’s the next action?” helps break down big projects into manageable actions so you know what to write next. Instead of scheduling a writing block on the calendar and labeling it “Blog post,” you can add the specific action, like, “Write the last two paragraphs for blog post.” With this approach, you know precisely what to write next. This focusing question works best when the projects offer obvious answers. Why Not Write a Series? But when you’ve closed out a project and you’re deciding what’s the next big undertaking, it’s not always so clear what to write next. You can still think in terms of sequences, though. In fact, you could even have some fun creating a sequence—how about a series? You could introduce a serial format to something you weren’t originally visualizing that way. It can hold your own creative interest as a writer as well as the interest of the busy, easily distracted reader. Writing and publishing short-form work in sequence—in a series—can work well for short attention spans while encouraging people to return for more. A series gives you a means to dive deeper into a topic, or explore it more widely in its applications, or look at it from many angles. Publishing novels in a series creates multiple entry points for readers who can dig in and read the entire collection. Series Ideas Want some ideas? Short Stories On your website, what if you release a series of short stories linked in some way? Maybe they’re all set in the same town or feature an ensemble of characters who alternate getting center stage from story to story. Novel Write and release a novel in serial form on your website. This should be a novel you didn’t intend to pitch to agents or publish traditionally; it would be something you just want to share with the world. You’ll be following in Charles Dickens’ footsteps, who his books in serial format in newspapers. Or, as I mentioned, you could write and publish novels in a series—anything from a detective series or sci-fi trilogy, to a realistic world peopled with characters like Father Tim in Jan Karon's Mitford series. Social Media A lot of ideas you might publish on a website could be serialized in even shorter format and pushed out via social media. You could do this with a story told in segments. Or you could implement a visual theme with applicable captions that link a series of updates all together.

Annie sat down with author CJ Hauser to discuss the ups and downs of living in a small town and what it means to be a "from away" (read: someone not from here. Yes, this is an actual, popular phrase). CJ's new novel -- titled, appropriately, The From-Aways -- was one of Annie's favorites of the summer, and CJ's stories of small town life will feel all-too-familiar to fellow small town dwellers. Also mentioned in this podcast? Gilmore Girls, Jan Karon and Mitford, and why your 20s are harder than you thought they'd be.
