A Few Kind Words: Anecdotally speaking
http://afewkindwords.blogspot.com/2012/03/anecdotally-speaking.html
A Few Kind Words. WEEKLY ADVENTURES IN LANGUAGE AND LIFE. Friday, 2 March 2012. There’s a small agency in Melbourne, Australia called Anecdote. They use stories and storytelling to help businesses change and adapt, develop their strategies and undertake other manoeuvres that call for some plumbing of the corporate psyche. I met one of the Anecdote. They tend to see as alarming and unmeasurable, and move away from a slavish devotion to so-called objectivity, then three cheers for science. Any writer who c...

A Few Kind Words. WEEKLY ADVENTURES IN LANGUAGE AND LIFE. Friday, 28 October 2011. Murder was there none. 8216;What are the types of people who come on your courses? 8217; asked a prospective Dark Angels student a couple of days ago. So what actually happened? Was it really just a week long lock-in, a love-in, a bonding session for a non-existent team? EM Forster could have written it just for us. 'Only connect.'. Posted by Jamie Jauncey. Friday, 21 October 2011. This was no mere amateur dramatics evenin...

A Few Kind Words: November 2011
http://afewkindwords.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
A Few Kind Words. WEEKLY ADVENTURES IN LANGUAGE AND LIFE. Sunday, 27 November 2011. It’s nice to hear that now there’s validation from the health professionals for an exercise we’ve used since we first started Dark Angels; an exercise that’s also used by teachers of creative writing the world over. Faye Sharpe, who came on the recent Dark Angels course, sent us a link to a blog by Kevin Roberts, CEO of Saatchi Worldwide, who had picked up on an article in the Sydney Morning Herald. We don’t use the...

A Few Kind Words: Constant craving
http://afewkindwords.blogspot.com/2012/02/constant-craving.html
A Few Kind Words. WEEKLY ADVENTURES IN LANGUAGE AND LIFE. Saturday, 25 February 2012. I was talking to my eldest daughter about last week's post and my South American travels. The conversation moved on to the 60s and 70s in general, and the music in particular. Even so, in her eyes I think my journey seemed somehow different, perhaps almost mythical, because of the era in which I made it. Whether or not we've actually experienced it. But did we really have it easier in those days? Personally, much as I r...

A Few Kind Words: Overconnected
http://afewkindwords.blogspot.com/2011/07/hyper-connectivity-is-not-word-id-heard.html
A Few Kind Words. WEEKLY ADVENTURES IN LANGUAGE AND LIFE. Friday, 1 July 2011. Hyper-connectivity is not a word I’d heard until yesterday lunch-time, or if I had, it hadn’t registered. I was listening to three writers talking on. I’m particularly conscious of it this week because I’ve just received the first copies of. My new book, co-written with John Simmons. Those three months over last winter when we were writing it, exchanging. On an almost daily basis. Posted by Jamie Jauncey. Im just off to drive ...

A Few Kind Words: January 2012
http://afewkindwords.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
A Few Kind Words. WEEKLY ADVENTURES IN LANGUAGE AND LIFE. Friday, 27 January 2012. Breaking up is so hard to do. I've been dismembering one of my books, painstakingly taking it apart, page by page, so that each comes away from the glue of the spine cleanly, a perfect rectangle. It's a strange, not entirely comfortable, feeling. The book in question is a paperback copy of The Witness. My story, The Artefact,. The business book I co-wrote with John Simmons, and this blog. Dipping back into The Artefact.
