Missions and goals (spring 2018 edition)

By now you may know that I hate writing autobiography. Even worse, I despise writing my own bio. This is something I have to do waaaaaay too often — whether for a new brochure or a web page, or in this case for a workshop I’m giving Saturday at the Sharing the Fire storytelling conference.

Bios of this sort are manipulative stories designed to impress. That said, I found the last paragraph I wrote about myself actually inspired me — which is kindof cool.

As a storyteller Mark Binder’s mission is to transmit joy.
As a writer his goal is to engage, enrapture, entertain and occasionally challenge.
As an American citizen his goal is to create a more perfect union.

I kind of like that, and I wanted to share it with you.
Thanks for reading and have an awesome day.

Cinderella Spinderella – Live Video – Elementary

This video is from my mini-Binghamton Tour a while back.
There were about 300 young people, all of them very enthusiastic!

One note: I’ve found that some parents get upset with the accident at the beginning of this version. Since then, I’ve tended to omit it. In the book, we moved it several pages in.
