Okay I'm 40 seconds into your video and I'm cracking up. You are a born comedian. lol

My favorite line: People are rarely overbearing when they're dead. 🤣

Such a great idea.

The book sounds great and love the micro memoir approach too.

Congratulations to Debra.

Glad you enjoyed. I have fun making and editing them and I love that I’m helping author/writer/friends spread the word at the same time.

I love this. I have recently discovered the "micro-memoir" and love that form. I'm also verging on 70. Seems as though this book is for me.

And family -- that gravitational pull is such a force.

Deborah Sosin's avatar

Yes, exactly. Thanks for watching! :)

I read it the day after we taped. It’s really powerful and light at the same time. Highly recommend

Deborah Sosin's avatar

Aw, thanks, Jodi. I love that you saw both sides.

Right forward !!! Yes!! As in you were so right about this idea and I look forward to the next. The cover spoke to you and now the book speaks to me. Will check it out.

I just love your newsletters -you surprise us all the time! Ya never know what you're gonna get with Jodi!

I’m glad you enjoy that aspect, the inconsistency. I’m not sure it’s the best for my “brand“. But there are so many avenues. I just want to explore, I’m just glad you’re enjoying.💕

Love this. Heard about the book but haven't yet read it.

Thanks for watching Ms Nancy. If you’d like to do a Thai Thai taping, I’m open to that…

You mean my children's book?!

I have not read this book. Yet. But you made me want to! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE this format, Jodi. And the 70-facts at the end, too. Please don't read my book. Yet. ;-)

I haven’t! I haven’t even read the blurb on the back. I’m reading the books after the tapings. I’ll reach out to you this week to make arrangements for our taping.

Deborah Sosin's avatar

Woohoo! Will look forward to this!

Janice Brantner's avatar

I definitely want to read this book!

Deborah Sosin's avatar

Thank you so much!

I got the Kindle version and I’m enjoying it so much! Each section is powerful even with so few words.

Deborah Sosin's avatar

Thank you, Janice! That means so much.

You should. I held off until after the taping. It’s a wonderful new structure. I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes something they teach in MFA programs like braided essays and hermit crab essays. I love flash and micro memoir. Let us know what you think after you read it. (It arrives really fast when you order online!) Thanks for being with us for the premier of Short Attention Span Reader. 📚💗
