May 1, Boredom

May 1, Jill Parmer and I will be at Alex Polikowsky's place in Minnesota, but we've scheduled the chat in. May 2, Thursday night, we'll be at the water park hotel where the ALL in Minnesota symposium will be held this weekend.

SO! Boredom, what is it, what it's not, how to swirl up and sparkle up your life. Add something, and stir.

Tone

Tone of voice, emotional tone... artists speak of tone.

Page 208, Tone.

We're over 2/3 through the topic pages of the book. The summer is coming, when chats will be less regular, so come to the next few if you like them!

April 10, Flow

Flow is one of those odd, special, magical things that doesn't happen often, and only happens when you don't expect it to.

When people say "he was lost in his work," or "I forgot where I was, " or "Is it that time already!?" it might be about a flow state.

In the book pages 206-207.
On the website, http://sandradodd.com/flow

But this one might be worth reading about elsewhere, too: wikipedia's article, or the reviews and comments on the book Flow, at Amazon.
