No Flat WritingA lot of writers will worry that their stories seem flat. There's a reason that they are worrying about that and it's one of the core elements of good writing.Ready?A lot of the times your story seems flat because all your sentences are the same layout.You want to vary your sentence structure.Take a bit of writing that you've done that feels flat—or maybe even one that doesn't. Count the words in your sentences for two or three paragraphs.Are they all five word sentences? Twelve? Twenty-seven?That robotic sameness in sentence length is one of the main reasons that writing can feel flat.It's like those ancient Dick and Jane books.See Dick run. See Jane skip. See Dick wave.The other big bugger is when all of your sentences are simple and declarative.I walk to the forest. The trees are gracious, tall. I inhale the pine scent.There is actually a whole, entire world of different sentence styles that writers can use and when you use them? That's when you make your writing shiny and sexy and all the good things.The names for these structures are pretty boring, honestly, but we'll try to look beyond that, right?Simple – You have one main clause.Carrie is the best wife.Compound – You have more than one independent clause. You probably use a conjunction.Carrie wants to get another dog, but Shaun keeps saying no.Complex – Oh, the sentence that probably has to pay for a therapist or is reading Foucault obviously in the park. This sentence has an independent clause and a subordinate clause.When hell freezes over, we will allegedly get another dog.Compound-Complex – It sounds like a place with a cult, right? But it's just a sentence with at least two independent clauses and one subordinate clause.Carrie really needs a new dog to love, so Shaun said that they would get one when hell freezes over, so Carrie immediately purchased some dry ice at WalMart and sent some down to Lucifer.So, to keep your writing from feeling flat, you want to vary those sentences. Why?It keeps the reader engaged. It helps highlight important details. It helps vary tone. It puts emphasis on things (especially when you use a short sentence for that). It sounds more real. People don't speak in identical sentence patterns. When they do, just like in your writing, it feels unnatural and stilted. It can be easier to follow when you change your sentence structure up.How do you vary the structure?Use different lengths, like we mentioned above Use different types of sentences like we also mentioned above. Throw in that complex sentence in the middle of all your simple sentences. Don't start all your sentences the same (the way I did up there).Refresher moments:What's a clause? A bunch of words chilling out together and one of those words in the group is a verb and another is a noun. Fancy people call the verb, the predicate, but we aren't fancy here.What's an independent clause? It is a bunch of words that has a subject and a predicate. Got fancy! It is grammatically complete all by itself and doesn't need anyone. Not any other words to stand alone! Darn it.What's a subordinate or dependent clause? A bunch of words that needs other words to be a sentence. This poor beautiful baby cannot stand alone and be complete, kind of like a protagonist in a Hallmark romance.DOG TIP FOR LIFE!Vary how you bark to your humans. Sometimes go ‘bark bark.' Sometimes go ‘barkwoofbarhbark.' Keep them on their toes.RANDOM THOUGHTOur random thought came from here.SHOUT OUT!The music we've clipped and shortened in this podcast is awesome and is made available through the Creative Commons License.

Penobscot, Maine mapmaker Jane Crosen discusses her 40+ year cartographic career, the sound advice of “when in doubt, leave it out,” creating spoof maps for the nautical market, producing two expanded and rearranged editions of George Colby's 1881 atlases of Downeast Maine counties, becoming “[her] own typesetting machine” with a calligraphy pen, the feeling of looking through an airplane window at the landscape she's drawn so many times, and her “paste-up” map design process that involves a light table, a proportional scale wheel, a pica ruler, mylar, pencils, a 000 brush and india ink. You won't be surprised to learn this interview was conducted via landline. See Jane's work at mainemapmaker.com Penobscot Bay to Schoodic Pt.

In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.

A lot of writers will worry that their stories seem flat. There's a reason that they are worrying about that and it's one of the core elements of good writing. Ready? You want to vary your sentence structure. Take a bit of writing that you've done that feels flat—or maybe even one that doesn't. Count the words in your sentences for two or three paragraphs. Are they all five words? Twelve? Twenty-seven? That robotic sameness in sentence length is one of the main reasons that writing can feel flat. It's like those ancient Dick and Jane books. See Dick run. See Jane skip. See Dick wave. The other big bugger is when all of your sentences are simple and declarative. I walk to the forest. The trees are gracious, tall. I inhale the pine scent. There is actually a whole, entire world of different sentence styles that writers can use and when you use them? That's when you make your writing shiny and sexy and all the good things. The names for these structures are pretty boring, honestly, but we'll try to look beyond that, right? Simple – You have one main clause. Carrie is the best wife. Compound – You have more than one independent clause. You probably use a conjunction. Carrie wants to get another dog, but Shaun keeps saying no. Complex – Oh, the sentence that probably has to pay for a therapist or is reading Foucault obviously in the park. This sentence has an independent clause and a subordinate clause. It'st the BDSM of sentences. When hell freezes over, we will allegedly get another dog. Compound-Complex – It sounds like a place with a cult, right? But it's just a sentence with at least two independent clauses and one subordinate clause. Carrie really needs a new dog to love, so Shaun said that they would get one when hell freezes over, so Carrie immediately got some dry ice and sent some down to Lucifer. Refresher moments: What's a clause? A bunch of words chilling out together and one of those words in the group is a verb and another is a noun. Fancy people call the verb, the predicate, but we aren't fancy here. What's an independent clause? It is a bunch of words that has a subject and a predicate. It is grammatically complete all by itself and doesn't need anyone. Not any other words to stand alone! Darn it. What's a subordinate or dependent clause? A bunch of words that needs other words to be a sentence. This poor beautiful baby cannot stand alone and be complete, kind of like a protagonist in a Hallmark romance. WRITING TIP OF THE POD Vary your sentence structures and don't be flat. DOG TIP FOR LIFE Variety is good. Don't eat the same Milkbones all the time. Mix it up. Be fluffy.

This week on the High Wire Woman podcast, Rosanna Berardi is talking about writing. Her guest, Javacia Harris Bowser, is a blogger, freelance writer and a writing coach. Javacia is the Founder of See Jane Write, a company that helps women become ‘the authors of their lives' through writing, blogging, and entrepreneurship. She joins Rosanna on this episode to talk about how High Wire Women can use blogging to improve their writing skills. You'll hear Rosanna and Javacia talk about: How Javacia first started writing. See Jane Write was started in a Mexican restaurant and has since grown due to the many meetups and workshops Javacia has hosted. The ways High Wire Women can get connected to See Jane Write. Blogging is important for writers in two ways: marketing, and practice. It's a great way for writers to get their name out there, and it also helps them get in the habit of writing every day. A good way to find something to blog about, Javacia advises, is finding the intersection between something you're passionate about, and something people consider you an expert in. There will be many blogs passionate about the same thing you're passionate about but your own perspective and story is what's going to set you apart. To stay focused on writing in this noisy world, remind yourself of why you're writing. Telling another person that you are writing will keep you motivated.  Where High Wire Women can go to find more information about writing, and writing tips. Writing is a great way to stay in the moment in our busy lives. It slows things down and helps us to appreciate every moment as it happens and improving those skills can help us not only in the business world, but in our personal lives too.

Finally - a not only-nice girl! After all, the only nice ones don't get rich and they definitely don't get the corner office. It was a thrill to have Lois Frankel join me for a conversation on Meet the Macs. Lois, an ex-therapist, is an executive coach, an author, an evocative thinker, and the founder of the MOSTE and Bloom Again Foundations. Our time together was far too brief but was replete with recognition and powerful insights. Why don't women speak up or stand out? What's so important about being polite? We discussed these limitations - the ones we place on ourselves – along with women's tendency to use far too many words. Why do we do this? Do we really think we have to explain? And how can we communicate better? Lois navigates this “thin pink line” with aplomb, with handholds for when to stop. She clarifies how headline communication can help us get our messages across. Number, sort, categorize, be more structured. Combining eastern face-saving and western assertive approaches, she sketches a brilliant rejoinder to all those condescending mansplainers out there (you know who you are) who interrupt and appropriate ideas. Want to learn how to have a difficult conversation? It's easier than you think. Just press “play” and join us!About Lois:www.drloisfrankel.comBooks: Nice girls don't get the corner office , Nice girls don't speak up, See Jane lead, Ageless women, timeless wisdom, Nice girls don't get rich, Stop sabotaging your career, Nice girls just don't get it, Women, Anger & Depression.www.Bloomagain.org If you like to know more about me and my Leadership Programs:www.fiefmacrander.comfief@fiefmacrander.com

Only three years ago, Jane was an obese, struggling asthmatic. She was celebrating her completion of Graduate School and snapped some pictures with her daughter. She knew she had gained some weight, but didn't realize exactly how big she was until she saw the photos. She had been hiding behind her body for so long, that she didn't realize how far she had gone. She felt exhausted, worn out, hopeless, heavy and defeated, so she decided to do something about it. After her moment of clarity, she began aligning her behaviors with her beliefs by going vegan. Through this eighteen-month journey, she lost eighty-five pounds and completely changed her life! In this episode, Jane talks all about how her transformation happened, and why her daughter became one of her biggest motivations for her drastic change!

That’s why I’m so excited to introduce today’s guest, founder of H. Gillerman Organics, Hope Gillerman. H. Gillerman Organics is a line of aromatherapy essential oils. Hope curated this line after an ongoing battle with sciatica. After aromatherapy helped her tremendously, she developed her own line and launched in 2008.

While See Jane Invest has lead me to some amazing, far off places, some of the most inspiring people I meet are in my own backyard. Today's guests, Jasmine Simms and Dr. Tammira Lucas, are fellow Baltimorians who founded MAE (Moms As Entrepreneurs). After being pushed to meet by family and friends, Jasmine and Tammira connected and realized they had a lot in common. While from different backgrounds, they both have a passion for helping moms create wealth that can be passed down from generation to generation. I also really admire them for the work they've done with low-income communities, making sure that families from parts of the inner city continue to build legacies.

A few years after I started See Jane Invest, I came across a fantastic female entrepreneur centered film idea on Indiegogo. That revolutionary documentary turned out to be my foray into producing. Today I’m joined by the filmmakers behind She Started It, Nora Poggi and Insiyah Saeed. It was such a pleasure to find their work because, as you'll hear in the interview, it really represented everything that I hoped See Jane Invest would stand for. She Started It is a documentary about female entrepreneurs, and it follows several of them through the ups and downs of the startup journey. What I loved about it is that it’s not just a “go out there, live your dream” kind of film. It really focuses on the reality of what it takes to be a female entrepreneur. Notable Moments: Learn Nora and Insiyah’s origin stories and how they met at the Women 2.0 conference Hear how they saw a need for more media about these amazing women and realized no one was filling it Nora shares how she realized we needed to change the conversation around female entrepreneurship Insiyah explains how the project went from a documentary series to a documentary and what it took to keep the project going Hear how they selected the women to be in She Started It We talk about a moment in the film that revealed how unconscious bias reveals itself in the family dynamics of one female founder. Learn about Nora and Insiyah’s initiative to bring the film to more classrooms and communities

How can Fortune 1000 companies look at people in tech, women, and diverse populations as something more than a box to check, and actually diversify the workplace in a real way? Today’s guest, Janice Omadeke, tackles that very question. I met Janice while judging the SXSW 2018 start-up night, and she was so impressive that I actually really wanted her to go on and win the whole thing. She ended up taking home third, which is still really notable. Janice is the founder of The Mentor Method, which is an enterprise SAS Platform that matches diverse talent to mentors in Fortune 1000 companies. Besides just matching talent, she helps these companies with their inclusion and retention. She works tirelessly to ensure that companies aren’t just giving lip service to the idea of diversity, rather they’re making sure that diverse talent pools have a real sense of inclusion. Notable Moments: Janice addresses what sets The Mentor Method apart. Hear about the algorithm that reduces implicit bias and makes a stronger mentorship match. Listen to Janice break down what companies lose by not being inclusive and how they are accidentally promoting turnover. We discuss the role that natural instinct and intuition plays. Janice fills me in on her journey and what she’s been doing since SXSW. Find out how Janice’s father helped shape her love of technology Links Mentioned In This Episode: The Mentor Method website

As an expert on disruptive innovation and personal disruption, Whitney developed her proprietary framework and diagnostics after co-founding The Disruptive Innovation Fund, with Harvard Business School's Clayton Christensen.
