My Pitch is Up at The Moth

Please CLICK HERE.

 

It will take you to The Moth’s website. You’ll see a list of story pitches. The Moth is all about storytelling, and it’s incredible.

 

The Moth is an acclaimed not-for-profit organization dedicated to the art and craft of storytelling. It is a celebration of both the raconteur, who breathes fire into true tales of ordinary life, and the storytelling novice, who has lived through something extraordinary and yearns to share it. At the center of each performance is, of course, the story – and The Moth’s directors work with each storyteller to find, shape and present it. [taken directly from their site]

My dear friend Alexandra recently appeared in the Wisconsin show and met Molly Ringwald. She told her story about her father’s suicide. I wish I could have been there, but soon her performance will be on YouTube where we can all watch.

My pitch is posted on 4/26/12 under Erin M. and the title is “The Man in the Tight Corduroy Shorts.” Please listen (it’s only 60 seconds) and vote for me. **TO VOTE: CLICK ON THE STARS BY MY PITCH!!** I’ll have a chance to tell my story live and on stage in front of an audience.

You may have to do some scrolling as I don’t think there’s a link to my individual pitch.  Again, if you want to vote, all you have to do is CLICK THE STARS. Only one vote per computer.

Please vote for me, share this plea, and tell your friends. This is a huge honor and opportunity and your votes count.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

      Sweet Ami,

      Thank you! How are you feeling? I think of you often and need to make a better effort at staying in touch. I love the Moth too, but only discovered it very recently thanks to another blogger who performed for them…

  • Gooddayregularpeople

    Voting and hoping. Thinking of all that will be helped by feeling like they belong. That’s the beauty of the story: the community. We become part of each other’s lives.

    Hoping hoping: and voting.

      Alexandra,

      Thank you. I hope you are right. I keep imagining this might come true for me. I know you’ll say I need to just KNOW that in my heart and believe it will happen. But that’s scary. This whole thing is scary. But I’m supposed to do one thing each day that scares me, right?

      I love you. Thank you again for EVERYTHING.
      xoxo

      Thank you so much, Shannon! It was originally up under today’s date, but then I guess they changed it. I don’t know what happened. But I went back and fixed it. I appreciate your vote so much! PS How ARE you? If it hadn’t been for CIP, I don’t think I would have even dared to try to do this.
      xoxo

      Thank you so much, Jessica! p.s. loved your piece on Le Cirque and the Push Girls. I have my DVR set. I live under a rock since this baby was born, so I hadn’t heard of the new show. I hope it lasts because I think it needs to be “out there.” I appreciate your vote and your “wow” comment more than you know.

    I am blown away. Just tweeted about it. You have to be chosen, because this story needs to be told. I can feel it. I was so upset when the clip was over, as I desperately wanted to hear more. Great job!
