Ozarks Writing Project Winter Newsletter


I just wanted to take the time to say how much I enjoyed reading the Ozarks Writing Project Winter Newsletter. Kudos to those who put it together! It looks fantastic! It feels really nice to be able to read about about a bunch of happenin' people that I feel connected to. The thing I appreciate the most about the newsletter is how it helped me see somewhat, the bigger picture of how huge this NWP business really is. I followed some of the links and it began to dawn on me the opportunities to professionally develop seem limitless.

I ran into Thomas tonight at a class where we write our final seminar papers for our master's degrees. It turns out both of us have applied for a two week seminar on Holocaust education at Columbia University taking place this summer. It would be a blast to attend that event together. I can imagine Thomas and I coming back and doing a presentation together. He could cover role-playing journaling, and I could present multigenre projects. Oops! I'm getting ahead myself. We need to get accepted first. Keep your fingers crossed!

Thanks again for the outstanding newsletter.
