Hello! This is my maiden voyage into the deep waters of the 'blogesphere' and I'm excited about it. I've signed onto blogs and even used them in classwork when I was at ETSU, but one of my own????
I graduated December 15th with my masters in storytelling and since then have been hard at work to find the best ways to put my stories to work. For now, I've got gigs coming up in March and April, with more on the way. I'm also searching for the best ways to get Dot Jackson, 'Going Home' which was my capstone, into circulation. Dot wrote Refuge, a novel published by Novello Press in 2006, and it is my great honor to have had the opportunity to interview her and hear her stories.
For now, I am keeping busy with the ETSU School of Medicine and ETSU Storytelling Program grant. It's my job to interview cancer patients to collect their journey stories about the experience. It has a been a tremendously rewarding opportunity to meet these wonderful people and to hear their stories. If you want to know what it means to live fully, listen to a cancer survivor - you'll never be the same again.
