Today on our podcast Re-Creative Mark A. Rayner and I talk to the Video Diva herself, the inimitable Cathi Bond. If you're a fan of CBC Radio, you will remember Cathi from her many appearances on CBC Radio's DNTO, Spark, Metro Morning and other shows.

We talk about the books in her Woman of Good Standing trilogy, writing fiction, her musical inspirations, and Cathi even barks once or twice.

Today in Labor History May 20, 1776: The Mohawks, under the leadership Joseph Brandt (Thayendanegea), defeated the American Revolutionaries at the Battle of the Cedars (on the St. Lawrence River). A day earlier, Benedict Arnold, commanding the American military garrison at Montreal, surrendered to a combined force of British and Indigenous troops. Brant was born into the Wolf Clan of the matrilineal society, where power was divided between male chiefs and clan mothers, with decisions made by consensus between them. Much of this history is portrayed in the wonderful novel Manituana, by Wu Ming (2007), an Italian writing collective formerly associated with the Luther Blissett Project.

Tim Rogers: ‘I find if there’s any sadness, anxiety or tension in your life, reading – particularly fiction – is the only surefire relief and tranquillity.' https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/nov/18/tim-rogers-headliners-abc-interview-three-things #books #fiction

My latest response to a First Line Fiction prompt. Best described by paraphrasing Melvin Udall, "But, a lot of people, that’s their story. Good times, noodle salad....Just no one in this car."

When I'm #writing #Fiction I often add elements of things that happen in real life into the story.

They are altered to fit the premise and narrative, not accurately described, but the essence taken and replicated. It's usually small things - something annoying, some observation I've made, etc.

I'm sure most writers do this too, but it's often works well to flesh out characters or even to bring in unexpected sub plots. Often these additions can easily be tied into the existing story.

Excited to be able to share this now! I was on the Re-Creative podcast discussing Alice in Wonderland as one of my writing influences.

M is for Makeovers!

Yes, Cinderella is the obvious choice, but I wanted to go beyond that with these tales.

H is for Hidden Identity

I would venture this one is about as popular in folklore as it is in romance fiction 😄

G is for Gentle Giants

Apparently, this is also a romance genre, named after the type of people who feature as romantic interests...

Today's #RomanceTropesInFolklore post:
"Chic and Awe"

It's the name of the trope (according to TV Tropes) where someone expects a stranger to look unattractive, and then they show up and turn out to be hot.

And then they fall in love, obviously.
