    Did you read the Oz books when you were a kid? I did. My big sister had all of them and read them to me. I loved them so much I re-read them more than once.

  • Chamaigne Montana wrote a new blog post: My Thoughts on Robyn O’Brien’s Interview

    I was really looking forward to this interview with Robyn O’Brien. The book was a great read, and very informative, even though the general gist of the information wasn’t new to me. I grew up knowing about the health hazards of food additives, and I was working with Richard Heinberg when [...]

  • Chamaigne Montana wrote on the wire of the group Memoir Writers:

    The interesting thing about memoir is that you have to figure out what the story is about. Is it "confessions of an addict" or "travels of a gypsy"? An interesting exercise is to write a "story of my life" through different lenses. If you try on the "story" that "I had a troubled [...]

    I’m looking forward to this week’s interview with Michael Murphy, spiritual memoirist and animal communicator.
    His memoir is probably the easiest to read memoir I’ve ever read, because the memoir itself is an example of a writing technique he teaches where you use seminal experiences to discover your core beliefs.   Each chapter is titled with an [...]
