  • Begendings: Episode 3--Writers Gonna Write

    Ever wonder how a writer comes up with an idea? Ever wonder if a writer means to help all those people who respond so positively to his work? Ever wonder what a writer is responsible for? This this may be the podcast to listen to. Host Carrah Faircloth addresses a question that her beloved "Eric" posed, which was this: "Were you talking about me?" This inspired her to address that because Eric's continued expressed worry over Carrah's blogs and podcasts has created an ongoing writer's block that she must get out of--immediately. This is the end of Carrah feeling responsible for others' feelings, and it is in this attitude that she will begin 2021.

  • It's always Begendings to something: The Begendings Introduction Episode (S1:E1)
    What is Begendings and why does it exist? Well, nothing can begin with an ending and nothing can end without a beginning. It's the proverbial which comes first--the chicken or the egg. In this episode, I discuss my and others' job losses. This results in an announcement of an event I'm hosting, which is a one-woman commemoration to all those who have lost jobs. On Saturday, December 12, at 6 p.m., I will raise a toast to all of us who lost jobs due to Covid or other reasons, especially those who are left reeling and wondering if what they did ever mattered. I will toast to your passion, your heart, your steadfast nature of showing up every day for your work. I will commemorate the end of this part of your life with you as this difficult year begins its end. If you would like to share your first name, location, and field of work, please email me at [email protected]. I will announce you on next week's podcast as one of the many who are honoring a goodbye to careers and jobs. 
    Our lives are full of begendings, so let's talk about them all because they all matter.

  • The Promise Keeper

    Do you ever feel like giving up and abandoning all the projects you've begun because a sudden flurry of crap hit the fan? Me, too. That's what this episode is about--the shit hitting the fan. It is also about that storm being a very obvious indicator of a true beginning happening because we all know that when you're going in the right direction for once, forces just rear their heads and try to derail you. It did me, and I almost quit everything creative that I needed to do today. Instead, I kept a promise I made to myself nearly 4 years ago--I made the promise to keep going, and I always keep my promises.
