You Want Me to What?
Reading wasn't my my game. Then I discovered how to read for pleasure.Writing wasn't my game if the story had to be a product of my own imagination. Then I discovered how to write and reveal facts as a journalist.
Reviewing was time consuming. Then I discovered you don't care what what I'm telling you if I don't review it and promise its accuracy.
News in the Unincorporated
The desire to spread gossip, I mean write and share valuable and worthwhile news, lead to a career in broadcast news. In Fellowsville, WV, rural Preston County, all things stopped at supper time and for the news. The paper came in the morning. We read it. Tom Brokaw came on at night. We reviewed his every newscast.Let Me Tell You How It Was.
I decided to write the news myself someday. I did that for 10 years through radio and television. Now, I write stories in a different way. I throw them up on the web for review on devices I never dreamed of when I was watching NBC nightly news on the floor model tv.Let Me Tell It To You In a New Way
If I can grasp new avenues for spreading gossip, I mean valuable news, maybe I can create another young audience nosy enough to read, write and review information.21st Century Literacy

Your post was very entertaining. :) I see that you stated that you were a journalist. What is your major now?
ReplyDeleteKasondra, thanks. I received a bachelor's in 2000 in Broadcast News. I'm enrolled now to work toward a M.Ed. This is my first grad school class after working in news for about a decade.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, very creative! Like the comic too.
ReplyDeleteEntertaining Introduction! I'm looking forward to reading your posts. Do you blog regularly?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vanessa. I've never blogged before this class. But, I did write a lot as a reporter. And, I tend to ramble on FB often.
DeleteI agree, your introduction was entertaining. My dad is a radio talkshow co-host. I liked your comic, as well.
ReplyDeleteEmily, I bet your dad is so proud. I don't know many people in broadcasting who are good at math. :)
DeleteYou definitely have a gift for entertaining your readers! I enjoyed your engaging introduction post, and am looking forward to future ones. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah.
DeleteYour post is very "tongue-in-cheek", which is quite entertaining. My dad worked at a newspaper for thirteen years and decided to publish/write his own work.
ReplyDeleteDo you get tired of his stories? Sometimes I'm pretty sure my family just pretends to listen.
DeleteI love your comic, too funny! Your title is also great, everytime I see it, the song gets stuck in my head.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that Johanna! I may not have thought that title through enough. Confession: hadn't really paid that much attention to the song.
