Thank you so much. You are the reason this show continues. Your support, listening to episodes, and sharing with others passionate about Memphis and it’s creative scene helps boost the show, keep momentum, and ensure this project keeps rolling. Something that’s been mentioned in a few recent episodes this year is I’m engaged. Aaaand, because I’m CMP’s main operator these days our feature creative segments are going to take short hiatus so that I might both enjoy this upcoming holiday season, my wedding, honeymoon, and our first times as a newly married couple. But fear not, feature guest segments will be back in early-ish 2017!

With Melissa we discuss food and restaurateur ideas, Matt cues into some more amazing Black Lodge stories, plus the crazy way he meet his fiance’, and Ryan continues to express the interesting and uncommon sides of this year’s Indie Memphis.

Blog posting tips

• Take out the -ing & -ly / passive voice
• Turn being verbs (was, is, be) find a way to turn it into an action verb. | Ex: "I was eating" -> "He ate"
• Vary sentence length. A mix of short and long sentences. | Ex: "This morning i woke up and I wasn't really sure I was gonna have eggs, milk, or coffee. I thought about making some yougurt, but I was out of granola. I went with the coffee." - have contrast
• Let your personal voice show, don't be stale. Don't write like you think you're supposed to sound.
• Stand up and read your story outloud to analyze quality.

*Mark Twain Critique of Writing:*
“I notice that you use plain, simple language, short words and brief
sentences. That is the way to write English – it is the modern way and the
best way. Stick to it; don’t let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in.
When you catch an adjective, kill it. No, I don’t mean utterly, but kill
most of them – then the rest will be valuable. They weaken when they are
close together. They give strength when they are wide apart. An adjective
habit, or a wordy, diffuse, flowery habit, once fastened upon a person, is
as hard to get rid of as any other vice.”

Joey Miller came on the podcast and we talked photography, don't do free work, famous photographers, Malcom Gladwell, beards, bacon, & Memphis. Tune in and learn about freelance photography, how to keep progressing in your work, and how equipment does not and does affect photographic skill.
