Dear [FIRSTNAME],
Happy New Year!
As many of you were on holiday when I sent out
the last edition of this newsletter, you may not
have had the chance to read some of the
interviews I published on 'Blow Your Own
Trumpet!'. I have, therefore, re-published them
in this edition of the newsletter.
I've also added new pieces for all other
columns. There are new announcements, in 'Tell
Everyone About...'
I hope that 2008 proves to be a successful year
for your storytelling endeavours.
Here's to your storytelling success.

ARTICLES FOR STORYTELLERS |
To Attract Attention,
You have to Show Off
Recently, a client of mine
complained, "I'm really good at what I do. I shouldn't
have to market myself." In fact, he is quite good at his
profession, but the problem is that not enough
prospective clients know about him. Like many
professionals, he is reluctant to talk about his
accomplishments. "It feels like bragging," he says.
"Doesn't it make me seem unprofessional?"

Storyteller's Pill - interview with Jay O'Callahan
Excerpts ...
Aneeta:
Let us begin
with a little information about your early life. Can you please tell me where
you grew up, what was your childhood and youth like, where do you live now and
what do you do for a living?
Jay:
I grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts and was intrigued with brick
sidewalks and the steep stairs in my grandmother's house. When I was
seven my parents bought a big old house in a neighborhood called Pill
Hill on the edge of Boston. I would spend my afternoons climbing a beech
tree that was seven realms high. I wanted to be a pirate when I grew up.
The neighborhood was filled with unusual people who read a lot and liked
to gather to sing. I was intrigued with the political currents that
sparked the neighborhood.

Lightning
Fame!
In 2003,
Campbell went out jogging every Sunday morning. He was out with his friends Ray
and Norman when suddenly the sky went black and a storm started. Campbell can't
remember what happened next.
The strike hit a
gold chain around his neck and knocked him off his feet.

Capricorn's Child
Excerpts ...
You don’t raise a Capricorn
child; they have no need of parenting in the classical sense. Capricorn
children are little old kings who cannot quite remember where they are or where
they have placed their crowns. Being a Capricorn child is like being a
brilliant adult and having partial amnesia, you know that you know everything
about everything but you just cannot quite remember it at the moment. You
do not want to let on to everyone around you that you do not have a clue what
the adults are talking about, so you simply wing it and join in with the belief
that any minute now you really will know what is being discussed and will not
appear foolish or stupid. They walk around with their heads held high as
if they have not lost their crown and soon enough, they become natural leaders.

Truth, Love and a Little Malice : An Autobiography
I have observed that with most
people, the fascination with reading autobiographies
comes from reading the little nuggets of information
about someone else's life. They are partly
interested in a man's view of a war or some
historical event, no doubt. However, if the truth be
told, before one even picks up a book, questions
which form in a reader's mind are often about the
most intimate parts of a person's life. For
instance, "What did Bill Clinton really say about
Monica?" or "What did Hilary think of Monica?". If
honesty is to prevail, the need to know the
subject's account of history is really secondary to
this innate desire to know about the human elements
of other great people. With this book, this
particular aim was achieved. Yes, I was interested
in the account of one man who was witness to
Independence and Partition but what fascinated me
was the very personal account of one man who, with
his words, showed me his compassion and indeed,
great courage. From the very start, what drew me to
this particular autobiography was this one sentence
in the inside cover of the book:
