I am Intrepid fresh meat
Inspirational. I'm going to write for these people. Hopefully among others.
Postscript: I'm now racking my brain for first column ideas. It's not going well. My first impulse is to write about crumbling mass media, like comics, radio, and quality television...not a bad option. Also, a riff on the lack of political theater in America (including a call for the return of the Federal Theater Project/WPA Arts Projects, and why such a thing would completely ill-advised in this political climate) is tickling my lobes.
That's the kind of thing I did at Flagpole, refocusing personal interests (thankfully, something I know a thing or two about) into interesting pieces.
I'm a bit daunted, to be honest, because most of these people are journalism students, involved in politics, or otherwise schooled in a way I'm not.
Which doesn't mean anything. A ghost story still scares/touches people. A column still gives people a poke in the ass. And I can still weave words with the above-average of 'em.
