Find myself thinking about the fun I have been having lately telling stories at Williamsburg and Grand Rivers Storytelling Festivals - and wondering - how to do more of that kind of work! Hmmmmmmmmm.
I guess this is my first toss of that wish to the universe - always interesting to see what happens when you actually say out loud what you want. The first person to hear it - in this case me - is often the one most effected. Because now - if I really want that - I can start dreaming of how to make the wish come true.
Anybody out there looking for an "old time southern storyteller"? I was born to talk, tell "finely crafted" stories and can really draw audiences into the stories.
Hey - that sounds like an ad.

Hmm, niche niche niche. We got lots of southern tellers, it's already the first thing that people think of when they hear "storyteller" unless they first think of librarians with "that" voice reading to preschoolers.
Now, the "'finely crafted' stories honed over decades," THAT could be a niche. "It takes time and pressure to make a diamond, and boy, have my time-tested diamond stories got a shine for you."
Get any more publicity off the press releases for the events?
Well, Ellouise, you've certainly been traveling and telling. I hope you find a way to do more of what you love. Sean has a point that I hadn't thought about--but you have a lot of storytelling hats. How to promote them all might be the trick.
Niche. One Niche at a time. Build one, move on to the next one. If it is for surviving, then start with the one with the most market potential and then move one. Few tellers understand how important this is. Promoting all your hats at once is a common mistake.
