My experience at the Roanoke Regional Writers Conference was inspiring, energetic, and moving. Moving because it made me want to move my pencil. Move my life forward. Move stories and lives, like those around me.
It was in Janet Jaquith's class, The Personal Essay, that I thought: I LOVE being an artist. How lucky are we, to be among one another? To learn from one another?
And although Janet's class was about radio, and I am not a radio journalist, it spoke to me in so many ways. I love radio. I've always found it to be this fantastically raw form of media. Media at its finest. I just don't think I truly understood why I loved radio until Janet's class. It was as if I discovered it all over again; through the personal essay.
