An interview with Dr. Kari-Lynn Winters, associate professor of language arts and author of more than 27 books for the very young, fiction and non-fiction, standalones and series. Hear about her love of unreliable narrators, her balance of many writing projects at once, and her fear of dogs, horses and ghosts. 25 minutes. All ages. A full transcript is available at CabinTales.ca. Show Notes [0:00] Intro [1:10] Interview with Kari-Lynn Winters CA: Do you have any suggestions for young writers on how to get or organize ideas? KLW: Oh, organize. Don't do it! Don't organize. …Stay playful. [2:30] CA: Do you have a favorite plot twist? KLW: I love plot twists. … Even if you think way back to The Monster at the End of this Book… That's a great book to model after… [3:00] CA: Do you have any favorite techniques for building tension? KLW: … Not focusing on the thing that's scary but focusing on the responses people are having. … I think what's really important is to slow those moments down and really focus…when it's the scariest part…. [4:25] CA:. And do you have a favorite first line from your own books? KLW: … from Bad Pirate…: Barnacle Garrick was bad natured and horrible, which most pirates would say was good, very good. Augusta Garrick was good natured and kind, which most pirates would say was bad, very bad… [5:10] CA: And have you ever opened with a piece of dialogue? KLW: … I like to start with dialogue, although … a lot of times you're writing a picture book for a child that can't read … Sometimes you need to … establish character before you can go into the dialogue. [6:10] CA: And do you have advice for young writers on how to begin a story? … KLW: … write about having nothing to write about. … Or you might also think about finding different things and just putting them together and meshing them together and just asking the question “What if? What if this happened?” …You could also riff off a story that you really love and take that story further. [6:55] CA: And what about endings? … KLW: The ending needs to connect to the beginning. … [7:50] CA: Do you have a favorite fictional settings…? KLW: I love the setting of Best Pirate. Oh, it reminds me of Saint Lucia… I also love the settings that Chris Van Allsburg creates… they're so detailed and beautiful. … [8:50] CA: And do you have favorite fictional characters…? KLW: … from my own books, I love Barnacle Garrick. …I like all my characters. …. I love like Wimpy Kid …. I love Pigeon. …. I love Scaredy Squirrel. … I love characters that are really dynamic. … Scaredy Squirrel ends up being brave at some point, and Wimpy Kid ends up being strong at some point, and Pigeon is less demanding… [10:15] CA: And do you have any exercises that you would recommend to young writers for either developing a setting or a character? KLW: Why not try drawing it or creating it with plasticine or… photographs…. [10:45] CA: Do you work on one project at a time? KLW: Oh no. …. I would be 90 years old by the time I got two books published if I did that. …. There's lots of ideas that I'm slowly working on…. obviously the process works for me. But it's not a quick process. ... [12:35] CA: Do any of your stories include memorable objects? KLW: … I have a manuscript that I'm working on called “The Masterpiece” and an important object in “The Masterpiece” is the pen that she uses…. I love pens. … [13:10] CA: And what do you think is the hardest thing about writing a story? KLW: … working on your ideas. …how do I make this story unique? …Sometimes finding the ending is the hardest part. … [14:30] CA: And do you have a favorite point of view to write from? KLW: I love writing from second POV, like being bossy to the readers …when they're done well, they're done so well, it's just like, Oh, I love this book. [15:10] CA: And have you ever made a book about monsters? KLW: I'm working on a book about monsters right now as we speak, called Can't Sleep. … [16:20] CA: And did you tell stories around a campfire as a kid? KLW: Of course. …, I told stories everywhere. ... Like I was the kid that was always telling stories… [16:45] CA: Do you have a favorite scary story? KLW: I just really like the way Joel Sutherland tells scary stories because I love the fact that it's nonfiction. … I do love characters that are monster-like, … characters that you just can't believe they would behave like that. … I also love characters that you kind of are unsure of…. I like unreliable narrators too…. [18:30] CA: And do you have any phobias? KLW: I don't like guard dogs. …. I get kind of scared when I'm beside horses … I also don't like if there's a bat and it gets too close to your head…. [19:50] CA: Do you collect anything? KLW: I collect illustrations …. [20:05] CA: And what do you think is scarier: humans or monsters? KLW: They can be the same thing. …, I think humans are a little more scary because they are unpredictable… If you had asked the question, “What's more scary: spirits or humans?” I would say 100% spirits…. [21:40] Kari-Lynn Winters introduces herself KLW: Hi. I'm Dr. Kari-Lynn Winters. And I'm a children's author, a playwright, and a performer. I'm also a scholar.

Intro Well I'll be. It IS possible to melt concrete. Della Falls! Tallest Waterfall in Canada baby. Fighting to be positive! This phrase reminded us of Jason's phrase from episode 3, "forcing hope." In the end, Andrew and Sarah paddled 25Km and hiked 17Km in torrential rains. Hardest outdoor day of their lives but looking back, they're grateful for the experience. This! Is Obstacle Course. Episode Notes Emily was a referral from one of our past guests, Linda Hunter! You can hear Linda's INCREDIBLE episode here. Scaredy Squirrel. Anyone remember The Littlest Hobo? Beachcombers? Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? I remember binging all of those in the day. Alcohol and drug use provided Emily with temporary disconnection and relief. It gave her a false sense of healing but only increased the dis ease it promised to heal. Paxil promises healing from panic, anxiety and mood dis-orders but carries many notable negative side-affects. As with all prescritpions, do your research and consult multiple specialists before proceeding and if you do go on a medication, practice vulnerability if it isn't working. Conversations around the nature of sexual assault are needed now more than ever. If you or someone you know have been the victim of sexual assault, you need to reach out to your local professional and begin the process of healing. If you are looking for a strong and nuturing community, look no further than The Connection Project. You can connect with them on Facebook and Instagram. The Connection Project hosts a life changing event every fall! In 6-8, ten minute presentations (think TED talks), courageous people bare their soul by courageously sharing their darkness. This act of sharing creates deep connection by shedding a light on our shared human experience! This event sells out quickly so get your tickets now! John is honoured to be one of the presenters this year! He will be sharing his story of loss of faith and identity. Also, the podcast WILL be recording LIVE at this amazing event. :) We LOVE Lord of the Rings. Next time you are struggling with a negative thought, don't resist it or run away from it. Stand face to face and say, You Shall Not Pass. Then get on with your day. This is the Victoria Therapist who provided Emily with her healing through Eye Movement Desensitization Reprosessing (EMDR) The Haven on Gabriola works miracles. Their classic Come Alive programs have been transforming people for decades. Emily credits this amazing place as key in her own transformation.

Rebecca Kohler is incredibly funny -- which, oddly enough, is a great thing when making a living as a comic. Jumping between performing on stage and stepping behind the scenes to write for television, Kohler has appeared on CTV's Comedy Now!, Much Music's Video on Trial, and The Jon Dore Television Show while writing for children's program Scaredy Squirrel and CBC's This Hour Has 22 Minutes. Kohler spoke to Paul Little in advance of her appearances at this year's Winnipeg Comedy Festival about her early interest in comedy, her relationship with stand-up as a career, and what she has on deck for the next little while.
