Kim Murphy joins Let's Talk Memoir for a conversation about unburdening herself from decades of shame, her often absent and unpredictable mother, what we owe or don't owe our parents at the end of their lives, gaining a level of remove from the character versions of ourselves, the push and pull of dependence and disappointment, hoping our parents will be different, getting raw and vulnerable on the page, molding lived experience into a narrative arc, depicting the younger versions of ourselves, the motivation and accountability of a writing partner, making art from a messy childhood, working with vulnerable and difficult material, creating her own imprint and becoming an indie author, and her new memoir Unmothered: A Memoir of Parental Neglect and the Search for Love and Belonging.   Ronit's upcoming workshop: Writing Dynamic Memoir: From Lived Experience to Gripping Story https://www.lmcmurtrylitcenter.org/workshops/writing-dynamic-memoir-from-lived-experience-to-gripping-story   Also in this episode: - the divided self - writing with metaphor - having your family's blessing   Books mentioned in this episode: The Memoir Project by Marian Roach Smith Deep Memoir by Jennifer Selig   Kim Murphy is the author of Unmothered, a memoir that explores the long shadow of maternal absence, the quiet work of self-parenting, and the ways women learn to survive--and eventually soften--without the care they needed.

Today, we're heading to sunny Harmony Cove, where Bleep Bloop's family sets off on their very first beach vacation. But after one very hungry little alien mistakes an inflatable floatie for a tasty snack, their relaxing day by the sea quickly turns into the silliest seaside adventure ever!

Alexa is a sci-fi / thriller short story by Paul Trammell, narrated by the author. The idea was inspired by a comment made by Tina Erwin in an earlier episode. I was asking her why spirits frequented Ouija boards and tarot cards. The short answer was "tradition," but she went on to say that it's entirely possible that technology could offer them a new and more effective portal. Why not an Alexa, I thought, and the story was born.

One harvest morning he sets off along the sunny side of a hedge, not looking for anything in particular — and then he hears something.

Until today. ✔️ Perfect for ages 5+ Sleep Tight!, Sheryl & Clark ❤️

Uong (Mushroom)Within the world of Hi Nay, there are many Big Ones, leviathan beings that feed off death. This short story details an ordinary, lonely man's encounter with a Big One, a great and vast organism that cares more about love than death.Content Warnings: Parental death, childhood trauma, allusions to mental health issues, disassociation, depression, fungi-Support Agriculture and Food Soverignty in GazaFrom the description by Abigail Johnson: This fundraiser is a continuation of a similar project to cultivate arable land in Gaza. For the convenience of the two landowners who're spearheading their respective projects, I've split the initiative into two fundraisers, one for each plot of land. The first fundraiser can be found here. Approximately $2500 from the first fundraiser was used to jumpstart the cultivation of this new plot of land. As of the publication of this campaign, the land has been cleared and plowed, and an irrigation system has been purchases and installed. [...]The plot of land to be cultivated by these funds is approximately 700 square meters, more than double the size of our original project, hence the higher starting goal of $10,000. Funds raised here will go towards seedlings, fertilizer, pesticides, wages for those who cultivate the land, and other relevant expenses. This plot of land receives more direct sunlight than the first plot. Therefore, the landowner has determined we will plant cucumbers and molokhia here, and possibly a heat-resistant strain of peppers. A small portion of the funds will be used to pay any taxes, duties, and fees associated with transferring the donations to Palestine. Depending on success, the goal and scope of the project may be expanded. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After retirement, he took up creative writing. Two hundred and eighty of his short stories have been published or accepted for publication in anthologies, magazines, blogs, audio books, and podcasts.

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

Blue is struggling to do the task he has chosen to do. It should have taken him no time at all but he just cannot seem to get it right. Red comes in and tries to see what he is doing but he snaps at her. Blue is just not feeling like himself, Red says it is from the space travel and whatever they had to drink. Blue looks at the base terminal again before closing it.  This story takes place shortly after Red and Blue arrive on Earth. ✔️ Perfect for ages 5+ Sleep Tight!, Sheryl & Clark ❤️

In this sixty-first installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins, we return once again to St. Jerome, where Maggie Sambor gets enough evidence to accept that something terrible is truly happening inside of Peterson's Grocery. We also begin to understand why what is happening inside Peterson's is happening, while at the same time,  the mystery around it all deepens.   For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com   Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of Scared to Death ad-free and a whole week early.
