Hi there YouTube friends!
Welcome to a new episode of Paulo won't shut up
As I promised, today we will talk about singing
Since every time I ask you for suggestions, ideas...
or what would you like to see on this videos
Some of you want me to teach you how to sing
tips about singing or stuff like that
I haven't made a video about this before because it's a broad subject
and it's hard for me to find something that fits into a video
that is useful, interesting and in a short amount of time
I'll probably have to make many videos on the subject
so if you like this video and this idea
leave a thumbs up and comment below
so I can know if you really like this kind of content
By the way, remember to activate the notifications bell
so you get them every time a new video is out
even if you're subscribed you probably won't get the notification
unless you activate the bell
anyway, let's move on to the subject of this video
We'll start with some general stuff
but these are really important as much as for beginners
as for people who have been singing for a long time
First we'll focus on the most general question
This is: How do you learn to sing?
and the simplest answer is at the same time the most important to keep in mind
You learn how to sing by singing
and yeah, it sound kinda obvious
but you can't imagine the amount of people
who say they want to learn how to sing
but never dedicate time to actually do it
and there are many others that think people are born singing well
or that there's something magical that makes people sing well
truth is the 99.9% of people who sing well
is because they've dedicated a lot of time to singing
and they have improved their voice
and also the 99.9% of people begin by singing badly
and they continue to sing badly for a while before it gets better
so one of the things you need to understand is that if you want to learn to sing well
you'll have to spend some time when your voice won't sound well
and you still need to keep going
if you want to see it in another way
unless you make time for singing even if it sounds bad
you won't learn how to sing
nothing to do there, in the end...
you have to sing, no one else is singing for you
no one else can develop your voice for you
it's just you and your voice
hanging in there when it doesn't sound too good
that's why this is the first problem when it comes to learning
most of the people give up
and it's really easy to give up on singing
there're people that give up even before they start
from the beginning they say "No I won't be able to sing, I'll never be a good singer"
and that takes us to the next question , which I consider very important
how to not give up with singing?
how to stay motivated
specially when you feel you're getting stuck or singing badly
and first, what's important is understanding that it is a process
it's a learning process
and you won't get better from one day to another
sometimes the progress isn't constant
sometimes it's not that evident
and for that reason you need to be careful about who you get involved in the process
cause they can have a big impact
and this happens because the voice is something very personal
you're the instrument
which makes it very different from other instruments
such as a guitar, a piano or something like that
For you to understand me a little better I'll give you an example
if you approach a guitarist and tell them the guitar sounds bad
they'll probably thing something like
"No, it's just that the strings aren't too good"
"I haven't set the amp correctly"
"This guitar isn't high-end"
"This amp isn't so good"
so there are many layers and barriers that protect them from negative comments
on the other hand, with singing
if you tell a singer their voice sounds bad
what the singer hears is
"You're a disgrace"
"You're useless"
"You are worthless as a person"
"You shouldn't exist"
and although it sounds a bit exaggerated... is true
if you make a negative comment to a guitarist about the way they play
the guitar is still the same, the strings aren't loosened
but something like that does affect a singer
and their voice can drastically change in a second
Inevitably, to sing well,
you need to learn to resist those criticisms
those ugly negative comments
but if you're just starting
or you don't have too much confidence
the best option is to avoid that kind of comments
to avoid destructive people
that tend to be too critic and say bad comments

NC Arboretum Product Photo Shoot - Behind the Scenes - Asheville Product Photography - Duration: 2:39.
Hi my name is Taylor.
Welcome to my photo studio!
I just finished a photo shoot for the North Carolina Arboretum, for their upcoming exhibit
"Making Scents: The Art and Passion of Fragrance."
It's a really cool exhibit that I was actually able to preview when the Arboretum had me
photograph it for their marketing materials.
If you go to the exhibit, you'll be able to smell smells from all over the world, and
you'll be able to discover some of the plants and flowers behind some of the most popular
and well known fragrances and perfumes in our society.
Today the Arboretum brought about 50 different beautiful perfume bottles into my studio to
have me photograph them to create traditional product shots, so they could use those shots
in the exhibit themselves.
I'm creating this video that you're watching right now to give you a behind the scenes
look into the shoot from earlier today, to show you what goes in to creating one of those
product images.
And I actually have a little tiny camera that during the shoot I put up to my camera's viewfinder
so you can see literally what I'm seeing during the shoot.
For this shoot I used three different lights, and a reflector, and I used some shiny reflective
acrylic to go underneath the perfume bottles.
Right now you're seeing inside of my camera.
The flashes you're seeing on screen are from my studio lights, which are called strobes.
Interestingly, even with all the right settings, when the image comes out of the camera there's
still some work that needs to be done.
So I had to take this image into Photoshop and clean it up a little bit to get the finished
image you're seeing right now.
Here are some of the other bottles that I photographed.
They're just stunningly beautiful to me.
I love the challenge of studio product photography, especially with shiny objects because it's
like chemistry with light.
There are so many different variables at play, it allows my perfectionist qualities to come
out in the best of ways, and yeah, I just love it.
Thank you for watching.
I hope this was interesting for you.
If you have any questions, please reach out.
Also if you want to check out the exhibit, I'll put a link to that in the description
of this video.
Thank you North Carolina Arboretum for hiring me again, and again to create these images.
I love working with you and I look forward to more!
Take care!

Episode 1147 | Caroline Fraser: Researching The Life Of Laura Ingalls Wilder - Duration: 22:03.
>> MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HAVE READ LITTLE HOUSE BOOKS BY
LAURA INGALLS WILDER, WHICH CHRONICLED HER FAMILIES'
PIONEER LIFE IN THE MIDWEST AND GREAT PLAINS.
SHE BROUGHT GREAT DETAIL TO HER DESCRIPTIONS BUT ALSO LEFT
MUCH OUT.
A NEW BIOGRAPHY ENTITLED PRAIRIE FIRES, THE AMERICAN
DREAMS OF LAURA INGALLS WILDER BY SANTA FE AUTHOR CAROLINE
FRASER SHEDS NEW LIGHT ON THE LIFE OF THIS AMERICAN ICON.
SHE FILLS IN THE GAPS IN WILDER'S LIFE AND ADDS
HISTORICAL CONTEXT ALONGSIDE KEY EVENTS.
FROM THE GREAT PLAINS TO THE DUST BOWL.
THE BOOK WON THE PULITZER PRIZE THIS YEAR FOR BIOGRAPHY
AND MS.
FRASER SPOKE WITH CORRESPONDENT MEGAN KAMERICK.
>> I AM JOINED BY CAROLINE FRASER, THE AUTHOR OF PRAIRIE
FIRES, THE AMERICAN DREAMS OF LAURA INGALLS WILDER.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US, CAROLINE.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
>> I HAVE TO ASK WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO WIN THE PULITZER
PRIZE?
>> IT WAS VERY SURPRISING, I HAVE TO SAY.
IT ALL SEEMED LIKE SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS TO OTHER PEOPLE,
NOT ME.
SO I WAS QUITE SURPRISED BUT DELIGHTED.
I MEAN, IT IS A WONDERFUL HONOR AND HUMBLING TO HAVE
THAT KIND OF RECOGNITION.
>> HOW DID YOU FIND OUT?
>> MY HUSBAND WAS ACTUALLY WATCHING THE LIVE STREAM IN
HIS OFFICE UNBEKNOWNST TO ME. AND HE CAME OVER TO MY OFFICE
AND HAD KIND OF AN ODD LOOK ON HIS FACE AND HE SAID, YOU JUST
WON THE PULITZER PRIZE.
THAT IS HOW I FOUND OUT.
>> WOW.
>> YEAH, IT WAS EXTRAORDINARY.
>> WHY DID YOU FIND LAURA INGALLS WILDER TO BE SUCH A
FASCINATING SUBJECT?
>> I HAD WRITTEN ABOUT HER A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST BUT I
GUESS I STARTED WHERE EVERYBODY DID WHICH WAS AS A
FAN OF HER WORK AS A GIFT.
YOU KNOW, I READ ALL THE LITTLE HOUSE BOOKS.
I LOVED THEM, I READ THEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
AND I THINK I ALWAYS HAD A SENSE THAT THERE WAS SOME
PERSONAL CONNECTION TO MY FAMILY BECAUSE I AM FROM, YOU
KNOW, AN IMMIGRANT FARMING FAMILY FROM THE MIDWEST.
SO, I HAD HEARD THEM TELL STORIES ABOUT THE FARM AND HOW
TOUGH THAT LIFE WAS.
SO, I THINK THAT I WAS ALWAYS KIND OF DRAWN TO LITTLE HOUSE
BOOKS BECAUSE THEY REFLECTED THAT PART OF MY FAMILY'S PAST.
>> LIKE, MANY OTHERS AND YOU, I GREW UP READING AND
REREADING ALL THE LITTLE HOUSE BOOKS.
WHY DO YOU THINK THEY ARE SO POPULAR?
>> I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF REASONS.
FOR ONE THING, THEY ARE GREAT BOOKS.
THEY ARE GREAT CHILDREN'S LITERATURE.
THEY TELL STORIES THAT ARE INCREDIBLY ENGAGING.
THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY SOOTHING AND COMFORTING, EVEN,
ABOUT A LOT OF THE WAY IN WHICH THINGS ARE DESCRIBED,
EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE A LOT OF HAZARDS THROUGHOUT THE BOOKS,
NATURAL DISASTERS AND SO FORTH, THERE ARE THESE
WONDERFUL DESCRIPTIONS OF HOW PA BUILDS THE LOG CABIN AND
HOW HE MAKES THE DOOR AND HOW HE MAKES BULLETS FOR HIS GUN
AND MA MAKES CHEESE AND THERE ARE JUST THESE SORT OF
WONDERFUL THINGS THAT YOU CAN LOSE YOURSELF IN AS A KID.
AND, SO, I THINK THAT IS A REALLY POWERFUL PART OF THEIR
APPEAL.
BUT, THERE IS MORE TO IT THAN THAT.
I THINK THAT THEY REMAIN REALLY POPULAR BECAUSE THEY DO
CAPTURE SOMETHING REALLY CENTRAL ABOUT THE AMERICAN
EXPERIENCE, ABOUT THE FRONTIER, ABOUT PIONEERING AND
THEY PROVIDE A KIND OF STORY FOR THOSE OF US WHO CAME THAT
ROUTE.
>> HOW DID THEY BUILD UPON AND PERPETUATE MYTHS OF WESTWARD
EXPANSION AND PIONEER LIFE?
>> THEY REALLY, ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE MOST FAMOUS BOOK,
WHICH IS LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE, THEY REALLY PROVIDED
A KIND OF CHILD'S VIEW OF WHAT THAT WAS ALL ABOUT, OF WHAT
THE WHOLE PROJECT OF MOVING WESTWARD ENTAILED AND WHAT IT
WAS LIKE AND HOW IT WAS, YOU KNOW, ON THE ONE HAND AN
INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE OF GOING TO PLACES WHERE WHITE SETTLERS
HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY BEEN.
IN HER CASE IT WAS KANSAS.
BUT THEY ALSO GAVE THIS KIND OF CHILD'S EYE VIEW OF
AMERICA'S DESTINY, THIS IDEA THAT WHITE SETTLERS HAD THE
RIGHT TO SPREAD OUT AND TAKE LAND THAT DID NOT, IN FACT,
BELONG TO THEM.
>> YOU BEGIN THE BOOK ACTUALLY WITH THE U.S. DAKOTA WARS
WHICH ENDED IN 1862.
WHY WAS THIS EVENT SO PIVOTAL IN SETTING THE STAGE FOR
PIONEERS LIKE INGALLS AND THE WILDERS AND MANIFEST DESTINY.
>> THE MORE I FOUND OUT ABOUT THAT EVENT, WHICH IS MENTIONED
IN LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE AT A COUPLE OF THE PIVOTAL
MOMENTS, THE MORE I WAS CONVINCED THAT IT WAS REALLY
AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE BACKGROUND OF THE INGALLS
FAMILY LIFE AND EXPERIENCE AND SO MANY OTHER FAMILIES
BECAUSE IT REALLY WAS THE MOMENT WHEN WHITE SETTLERS
REALLY CAME UP AGAINST THE FACTS OF WHAT THEY WERE TRYING
TO DO.
I MEAN THEY WERE TAKING LAND.
THERE HAD BEEN A NUMBER OF TREATIES THAT WERE WORKED OUT
THAT WERE INCREDIBLY UNFAIR AND DECEITFUL ON BEHALF OF THE
GOVERNMENT.
AND IN 1862, THE DAKOTA TRIBE ESSENTIALLY ROSE UP AND
ATTACKED WHITE SETTLERS IN MINNESOTA.
WHICH REALLY CHANGED THE WHOLE GAME.
IT WAS REALLY THE BEGINNING OF THE PLAINS INDIAN WARS WHICH
WOULD THEN TAKE PLACE OVER THE NEXT 30 SOME YEARS.
IT REALLY SET THE STAGE FOR LAURA INGALLS LIFE, EVEN
THOUGH IT HAPPENED A FEW YEARS BEFORE SHE WAS BORN.
>> WHAT WAS HER RELATIONSHIP TO NATIVE AMERICANS IN THE
BOOK AND IN HER LIFE?
>> IN THE BOOKS YOU SEE THEM LARGELY IN LITTLE HOUSE ON THE
PRAIRIE BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN SHE AS A CHILD OF AROUND FIVE
ACTUALLY ENCOUNTERED OSAGE INDIANS IN KANSAS, BECAUSE HER
FATHER, WHO WAS A SQUATTER, BASICALLY JUST SETTLED DOWN ON
LAND THAT BELONGED TO THE OSAGE IN A TERRITORY THAT WAS
SPECIFICALLY MARKED AS NOT OPEN TO WHITE SETTLEMENT.
SO, SHE, THEN, BECAME A PART OF THAT WHOLE SQUATTERS'
MOVEMENT IN KANSAS.
AND, THE FUNNY THING IS, I DON'T THINK AS AN ADULT SHE
HAD MUCH UNDERSTANDING OF EITHER THE INDIVIDUAL TRIBES
THAT SHE WAS WRITING ABOUT OR THE HISTORY BEHIND WHAT HER
FAMILY HAD DONE BUT SHE NONETHELESS HAD THESE VERY
SPECIFIC DRAMATIC MEMORIES OF ENCOUNTERS WITH INDIANS AND SO
SHE JUST WROTE ABOUT THOSE.
SHE LAID THAT OUT AND IT BECAME, I THINK, A VERY
EMBLEMATIC TREATMENT OF WHITES INTERACTION WITH INDIANS AT
THAT TIME.
>> THERE WERE A LOT OF BRUTAL REALITIES IN PIONEER LIFE.
WHAT DID YOU WANT TO ILLUMINATE IN HER LIFE IN THE
BOOK THAT WE WOULDN'T KNOW JUST BY READING HER BOOKS OR
WATCHING THE HUGELY POPULAR TV SERIES.
>> I WAS REALLY INTERESTED IN GETTING AT THE ECONOMIC
REALITIES BEHIND THEIR LIVES BECAUSE I THINK THAT REALLY
GETS LOST IN THE TELLING OF THE STORIES IN HER BOOKS.
SHE REALLY SHIED AWAY FROM ANYTHING THAT PORTRAYED HER
FAMILY IN A LESS THAN POSITIVE LIGHT.
SHE REALLY WANTED TO MEMORIALIZE HER PARENTS IN HER
LITTLE HOUSE BOOKS.
SHE SAID THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND SO SHE LEAVES OUT
ALL THE STUFF ABOUT THEIR DEBTS, ABOUT THEIR INABILITY
TO REALLY BRING CROPS TO MARKET AND MAKE A LIVING AS A
FARMER AND SO -- >> EVEN THE DEATH OF HER
YOUNGER BROTHER.
>> THAT IS RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, SCHOLARS HAVE POINTED OUT THERE IS NO DEATH
IN THE LITTLE HOUSE BOOKS.
SHE LEFT OUT THE BIRTH AND DEATH OF HER LITTLE BROTHER
FREDDIE, WHICH CAME ABOUT REALLY IN THE AFTERMATH OF ONE
OF THE REALLY TERRIBLE ECONOMIC DISASTERS FOR THE
FAMILY AFTER THE LOCUST PLAGUE OF THE 1870'S.
SO, BY TRYING TO SORT OF EXPLAIN WHAT THE CYCLICAL
NATURE OF THESE FINANCIAL PANICS, SUCH AS, CAME ALONG
ONCE EVERY FEW YEARS REALLY IN HER EARLY LIFE, I HOPED TO
KIND OF SHOW PEOPLE HOW IT WAS ALSO POSSIBLE FOR FARMERS TO
MAKE A LIVING THEN, FOR ANY KIND OF SMALL SCALE FARMING TO
BE SUCCESSFUL OR SUSTAINABLE AND HER FATHER SURELY DID
ENCOUNTER THAT.
>> GIVEN THAT SHE CURATED SO MUCH OF HER OWN PUBLIC
HISTORY, HOW DID YOU UNCOVER THAT WIDER REALITY ABOUT HER
LIFE?
>> WELL, A LOT OF THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO SOME EXTENT
FOR A LONG TIME.
HER MANUSCRIPT, SOME OF THEM, THE UNPUBLISHED MANUSCRIPT
THAT WAS LEFT AT HER DEATH WAS PUBLISHED IN THE 1970'S,
CALLED THE FIRST FOUR YEARS.
AND THAT REALLY EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO HER AFTER HER
MARRIAGE WHICH WAS JUST A SERIES OF DISASTERS, REALLY.
>> WHICH WE NEVER KNEW ABOUT.
>> WHICH, YOU KNOW, EARLIER READERS HAVE NOT BEEN AWARE
OF.
SO, I THINK A LOT OF THAT REALLY HAS BEEN OUT THERE BUT
I WANTED TO LOOK AT THE HISTORY BEHIND HER LIFE AND
SHOW HOW HER LIFE WAS JUST SO EMBLEMATIC OF ALL THESE MAJOR
MOVEMENTS THAT HAD TO DO WITH WHITE SETTLEMENT AND THE
PLAINS INDIAN WARS, AND EVEN ONTO THE DUST BOWL AND GREAT
DEPRESSION BECAUSE SHE WROTE THE BOOKS DURING THAT TIME IN
THE 1930'S AND YOU CAN REALLY SEE A LOT OF HER RESPONSE TO
THAT IN CERTAIN PASSAGES IN THE BOOK.
>> YOU MENTIONED THE LOCUST, THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST
MEMORABLE STORIES I RECALL, GRASSHOPPERS AND LOCUST
DESTROY THE WHEAT CROP.
YOU EXPLAINED THIS IS A HUGE DISASTER ACROSS THE PLAINS,
ONE OF THE WORST IN OUR HISTORY AND LEFT PEOPLE IN
REAL DANGER OF STARVATION AND AUTHORITIES IN THE EAST AND
CITIES IN THE MIDWEST WERE PRETTY UNSYMPATHETIC TO THEIR
PLIGHT.
WHAT DOES THAT STORY SHOW US ABOUT HOW AMERICAN SOCIETY
VIEWED PIONEERS LIKE THE INGALLS AND WILDERS?
>> IT IS A MAJOR NATIONAL CRISIS AND A TRAGEDY FOR
EVERYBODY WHO WAS CAUGHT UP IN IT AND IT DOES INDEED SHOW
THAT THERE WAS A REAL LIMITED AMOUNT OF PATIENCE BY, YOU
KNOW, FEDERAL AUTHORITIES, AND PEOPLE ON THE EAST GENERALLY.
I MEAN WE SEE A LOT OF REALLY UNSYMPATHETIC EDITORIALS IN
NEWSPAPERS FROM THE EAST.
>> PRETTY SHOCKING.
>> IT IS EXTRAORDINARY THE LANGUAGE.
AND YET, IF YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE LANGUAGE THAT WE
CURRENTLY SEE IN POLITICAL DISCOURSE NOW, THERE IS A LOT
OF SIMILARITIES THERE BETWEEN WE ARE TIRED OF THESE PEOPLE
ASKING FOR MORE MONEY, WE ARE TIRED OF, YOU KNOW, THERE IS A
CERTAIN LACK OF SYMPATHY FOR IMMIGRANTS, YOU KNOW, AND SO
YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE HASN'T MAYBE BEEN AS MUCH CHANGE IN
POLITICAL DISCOURSE AS YOU MIGHT THINK.
>> IT IS INSTRUCTIVE, BECAUSE WE HAVE A GOLDEN VIEW OF THESE
TIMES FROM HER BOOKS BUT EVEN GENERALLY WE THINK, OH, THINGS
WERE BETTER BACK THEN.
WELL, MAYBE NOT SO MUCH.
PEOPLE DIDN'T TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER.
HOW DOES HER LIFE OFFER A WINDOW TO EXPLORE OTHER KEY
POINTS IN THE EVOLUTION OF AMERICA AND AMERICAN IDENTITY?
>> WELL, IT IS INTERESTING TO LOOK AT THE ORIGINS OF HER
FAMILY AND HOW THEY CAME TO THIS COUNTRY.
I MEAN HER ANCESTORS ARRIVED WITH THE PURITANS AND WERE
PURITANS AND SO SHE OFFERS THIS EXTRAORDINARY KIND OF,
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SEE SORT OF THE WEIGH STATIONS OF AMERICAN
HISTORY THROUGHOUT THE GENERATIONS OF THAT FAMILY.
I TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HER GREAT GRANDFATHER SAMUEL
INGALLS WHO ACTUALLY APPEARS IN LITTLE HOUSE IN THE WOODS,
NOT BY NAME, BUT HE'S CHARLES INGALLS' GRANDFATHER AND SHE
TELLS THIS WONDERFUL STORY ABOUT HIM -- ABOUT HER
GRANDFATHER LANSFORD, WHEN HE WAS A BOY, YOU KNOW,
SLEDDING -- CREEPING OFF ON THE PURITAN SABBATH, WITH HIS
BROTHERS, TO SLED DOWN THIS HILL AND AS THEY ARE SLEDDING
DOWN, THIS IS COMPLETELY FORBIDDEN, OF COURSE, BECAUSE
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO ANYTHING ON THE SABBATH.
AND AS THEY GO DOWN ON THE HILL, A PIG STEPS OUT OF THE
WOODS AND IS PICKED UP ON THEIR SLED AND BEGINS
SQUEALING ITS HEAD OFF AND THIS WAKES UP THEIR FATHER WHO
HAS FALLEN INTO A STUPOR AFTER THE INCREDIBLY LONG SERMON AT
CHURCH.
SO IT IS A WONDERFUL STORY THAT KIND OF SHOWS YOU HOW
THAT PURITAN PAST WAS, YOU KNOW, STILL VERY MUCH PRESENT
EVEN UP UNTIL CHARLES INGALLS' GRANDFATHER'S LIFE AND HOW THE
VARIOUS GENERATIONS HAVE SORT OF FALLEN AWAY FROM SOME OF
THOSE THINGS, AND YET THEY STILL RETAINED THAT DEEP
BELIEF IN SELF RELIANCE, THAT YOU DIDN'T TAKE ANYTHING FROM
ANYBODY ELSE UNLESS, OF COURSE, THEY WERE NATIVE
AMERICANS.
THAT WAS OKAY.
IN THEIR VIEW.
BUT, THEY REALLY JUST HAD THIS COMPLETE DEVOTION TO THAT IDEA
THAT YOU HAD TO PROVIDE FOR YOURSELF AND THIS GOES A LONG
WAY TO EXPLAINING WILDERS OWN DISTASTE FOR THE NEW DEAL IN
THE 1930'S.
>> WHICH WAS DURING THE DUST BOWL AND YOU TOUCHED ON THE
FACT THAT ONE OF THE OTHER ICONIC THINGS IN THIS BOOK IS
THAT THE SETTLERS LIKE THEM WENT OUT TO THE PLAINS AND
ALTERED THE PLAINS IRREVOCABLY.
>> YES, THEY CERTAINLY DID AND I THINK THIS WAS NOT --
>> WHICH LED TO THE DUST BOWL.
>> IN THE 1890'S YOU SEE A KIND OF EARLY VERSION OF THE
DUST BOWL, WHICH IS PART OF WHAT DROVE WILDER AND HER
HUSBAND OUT OF THAT REGION AND WHICH IS WHY THEY ENDED UP
LIVING IN THE MISSOURI OZARKS, SO FAR AWAY FROM THEIR FAMILY.
AND THAT MOVE REALLY SPURRED HER TO WANT TO WRITE ABOUT
THEM BECAUSE SHE HAD BEEN SEPARATED FROM THEM BASICALLY
FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE.
>> I THINK YOU FIRST CAME TO LAURA'S STORY THROUGH HER
DAUGHTER, ROSE WILDER LANE, AND THERE WERE ALLEGATIONS
YEARS AGO ABOUT HER BEING THE REAL AUTHOR OF THE LITTLE
HOUSE BOOKS.
ROSE HAD TENUOUS CONNECTIONS TO THE TRUTH SOMETIMES.
SHE BECAME A WRITER DURING THE ERA OF YELLOW JOURNALISM.
WHAT WAS HER ACTUAL ROLE IN WRITING THE BOOK?
>> IT IS COMPLICATED.
I MEAN, SHE, I THINK, IS PROBABLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
BOOKS IN LARGE PART BECAUSE SHE AS A PROFESSIONAL WRITER
HAD CONNECTIONS TO AGENTS, TO PUBLISHERS.
SHE WAS ONCE MUCH MORE FAMOUS THAN HER MOTHER.
AND SHE, I THINK, VERY EARLY ON SAW THE COMMERCIAL
POTENTIAL IN HER MOTHER'S STORIES.
SHE HAD BEEN HEARING THESE STORIES ALL HER LIFE SINCE SHE
WAS A LITTLE GIRL AND SHE KNEW ALL THESE SORT OF DRAMATIC
TAILS ABOUT BLIZZARDS AND LOCUSTS AND INDIANS, REALLY,
POTENTIALLY HAD -- COULD BE SOLD TO MAGAZINES OR
PUBLISHERS, SO, SHE BEGAN, I THINK, URGING HER MOTHER VERY
EARLY ON TO DO SOMETHING WITH THAT MATERIAL AND I THINK HER
MOTHER HAD ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THIS AS WELL.
YOU KNOW.
THERE ARE INDICATIONS QUITE EARLY ON THAT SHE WAS TRYING
TO WRITE A VERSION OF HER MEMOIRS.
>> HAVE YOU UNCOVERED SOME OF THE REALITIES OF LAURA INGALLS
WILDER'S LIFE AND PIONEER LIFE?
DID YOU EVER FEEL SAD THAT THE STORIES YOU LOVED IN CHILDHOOD
WEREN'T QUITE THE REALITY SHE OFFERED?
>> I DIDN'T FEEL SAD BECAUSE TO ME THE REALITY IS ALMOST AS
INTERESTING, IF NOT MORE INTERESTING, THAN THE STORIES
THEMSELVES.
I THINK THE STORIES ARE WONDERFUL AND THE EXPERIENCE
OF READING THEM REMAINS REALLY POWERFUL.
I STILL FIND THEM VERY MOVING TO READ BUT THE REALITY IS
ALSO JUST ANOTHER LAYER OF FASCINATING BACKGROUND TO THE
STORIES THAT YOU LOVE, SO, I DON'T THINK THAT IT REALLY
TAKES ANYTHING AWAY FROM THEM.
BUT, CERTAINLY, PEOPLE MAY FEEL DIFFERENTLY.
>> HOW DID THIS PROCESS COMPARE TO PREVIOUS BOOKS AND
ARTICLES THAT YOU HAVE DONE?
>> WELL, I HAD THE LUXURY OF REVISITING THIS MATERIAL
SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS, FIRST WITH A KIND OF LONG
PIECE THAT I WROTE FOR THE NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS ABOUT
ROSE AND ABOUT HER ROLE IN EDITING AND SHAPING THE BOOKS
AND THEN EDITED THE LIBRARY OF AMERICAS LITTLE HOUSE BOOKS
THAT CAME OUT IN A TWO VOLUME EDITION.
SO, THAT GAVE ME AN INCREDIBLE KIND OF PREPARATION TO DO
SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND SO YOU DON'T OFTEN GET THAT KIND OF
BACKGROUND IN A SUBJECT SO I WAS REALLY FORTUNATE IN THIS
PROJECT TO HAVE PREVIOUSLY DONE A LOT OF WORK ON THE
MANUSCRIPTS AND EDITING THE BOOKS THEMSELVES AND WRITING
NOTES ABOUT THE TEXT AND ALL OF THAT REALLY CONTRIBUTED TO
WHAT I WAS DOING IN THE BIOGRAPHY.
>> WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, A ROBUST WRITING COMMUNITY IN NEW
MEXICO AND ALSO PEOPLE DOING HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY.
WHAT IS THAT COMMUNITY LIKE FOR YOU?
IS IT A SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY?
>> IT IS WONDERFUL.
I MEAN, I HAVE MET PEOPLE IN SANTA FE WHO ARE VERY INVOLVED
IN FOUNDING THE BIOGRAPHERS INTERNATIONAL GROUP.
JAMES MCGRATH MORRIS IS A GOOD FRIEND WHO WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN
FOUNDING THAT GROUP WHICH WAS REALLY HELPFUL TO ME IN TERMS
OF CONFERENCES AND LEARNING STUFF ABOUT HOW TO APPROACH
CERTAIN PROBLEMS AND ISSUES THAT YOU FACE AS A BIOGRAPHER.
>> WHAT HAS THE PROJECT DONE IN TERMS OF INSPIRING FUTURE
BOOKS OR WRITING PROJECTS FOR YOU?
>> I THINK I WOULD LOVE TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE UP MORE WORK.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER A BOOK OR POSSIBLY ARTICLES BUT I REALLY
LOVE CHILDREN'S LITERATURE.
I THINK IT IS REALLY A FASCINATING TOPIC THAT OPENS
UP A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT INFLUENCE AND IDENTITY, ABOUT
HOW WE KIND OF SHAPE OUR IDENTITY AROUND STORIES,
STORIES THAT WE HAVE HEARD AS KIDS.
SO I WOULD LOVE TO DO MORE WORK IN THAT FIELDS.
>> CAROLINE FRASER, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING AND TALKING
WITH US.
>> THANK YOU.
IT HAS BEEN GREAT.
