		<description><![CDATA[Consider Sean Toner's award-winning "Head Clown," a story about a summer when he decided to earn extra money by selling balloons. This piece, fashioned from ordinary events, is clever, engaging, and warm. I looked more closely trying to decipher how he transformed a few memories into a tale that offered so much value. From my inquiry I found six writing prompts that could help any writer find a story-worthy anecdote in their own memory. <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/clown-story-writing-prompts/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Toner's exquisite attention on small details provided me with so much pleasure I was sorry to see it end. <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/writing-style-clown-story/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was young, whenever I read a new expression or adage in a newspaper or book, I hand-copied it into a notebook and made my own customized lexicon. That was how I acquired a large Chinese vocabulary. It is kind of ironical that at mid-age I'm repeating the same painstaking process for English now. I envision doing this for the rest of my life. <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/exclusive-interview-xujun-eberlein-2/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For some writers, it takes a big leap to transcend experience-based stories. I think I am like that. In my collection, about half of the stories can be said to be based on my own experience. The other half came from attempts to transcend and broaden that experience. <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/exclusive-interview-with-author-xujun-eberlein/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
