An Interview

The other day I was interviewed by a Northwestern student in Creative Writing. It is always nice to be able to talk about yourself to someone who wants to hear what you have to say. It also gave me the opportunity to organize my thoughts and to "tell my story" again. She came across Michael's Museum and then my web site by searching "important people in Evanston." I am impressed.

I received this e-mail from the student:

THANK YOU so much for interviewing with me! I loved getting to hear your story and your insights. Some of the things you said about the art of non-fiction left a huge impression on me...I keep thinking about that idea of writing as a means of documentation and remembrance just as much as it is a means of storytelling. 

I am hoping to go to Michael's Museum over the weekend! Do you have a favorite item or collection there that I should look out for?

I'm beginning to work on my assignment and will send you the finished project as soon as it is done! I'm also starting to work on creating a personal blog...the advice to try and write every day, and acquire an audience, makes a lot of sense to me. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation to try it out!
