Storytime with Emi Master List/Directory
I have started a new project on YouTube called Storytime with Emi, here is a guide to all the videos
This has been a fun, casual project for me, entirely separate from A Course in Production. This project has a few goals:
- Share interesting stories, anecdotes, information, from the beautiful library I have here at home with little context - why add more to an existing, well-written or intriguing snippet from a renowned writer?
- Quick snippets (all the videos are 3 mins or less) for something new to think about, or to otherwise provide inspiration
- I am personally intrigued enough by all the snippets that I read that I feel they should be heard by a bigger audience than just me at home reading my books--even if the books or quotes aren't new, they offer food for thought.
I'm going transcript-free on these videos because 95% of the content in each video is words written by someone else, be it Esi Edugyan, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola-Estes, Caitlin Doughty, Gloria Steinem, etc.
