Lockie teaching feature writing

lockie said...

Hi all!

I've not written any news for some time, as I've been mostly publishing things that are not much fun. (example: I'm freelancing for the real estate section of all things).
However, good news in the form of a new course I'm teaching at Warren Wilson College here in sunny Swannanoa. I currently teach "Intro to the Media" a hybrid class where first part of the semester is similar to our own WP687 class, and last half of semester is devoted to copyediting and public relations. I've been wanting to teach a features workshop for some time, and I pitched it hard this semester and it landed! I teach "feature writing" this Spring here at Warren Wilson and am framing it as a workshop. It will include environmental journalism, travel pieces, humor pieces, profiles and more. Yay!
Best to all.

Monkey Business

I've got an essay about being bitten by a monkey in Thailand that's now live at The Smart Set. Lesson learned: don't pet monkeys, no matter how cute...

Blogging

I started a blog too about two months ago. It's called "Vegan Poet in the Kitchen," combining poetry and vegan cooking and delightful mishaps. Did I already make a note of this?

Student loan thingy.

Student loan relief??!!

My new blog post/column/article(?) for all you borrowers out there, and for me, because I got the shaft.

Another new blog

Hi All:

I've started a new blog about poetry and being a poet and would love some feedback. My first two posts are up and I have one follower named Joe. Please follow the blog if you like it, and comment on anything you like or hate.

Vegan Poet in the Kitchen

After several attempts to write a column for VegNews and being ignored, I’ve started a blog called Vegan Poet in the Kitchen. It’s amusing and the recipes (and poems!) are delicious.

I'm still writing the Ask a Poet column and this summer The Smart Set will be publishing some of my longer features.
