Freeform radio is an art form. The airwaves are the empty canvas, the producer is the artist, and the sound is the paint.

I'm tired of thinking and I'm really tired of Feeling. —Jenna Richards

When I read students’ attempts at creative writing it is obvious immediately that most of them have not read much or widely. The aspiring writer must read everything he or she can to appreciate the myriad ways words are used and to what effect.

Each of us is comprised of stories, stories not only about ourselves but stories about ancestors we never knew and people we've never met. We have stories we love to tell and stories we have never told anyone. The extent to which others know us is determined by the stories we choose to share. We extend a deep trust to someone when we say, "I'm going to tell you something I've never told anyone." Sharing stories creates trust because through stories we come to a recognition of how much we have in common.

Silence was not the absence of sound but was itself a sound that could be loud or soft, soothing or disturbing, complex or simple.

Freeform radio is an art form. The airwaves are the empty canvas, the producer is the artist, and the sound is the paint.

We remember with our emotions. The things that were important in our emotional life, that's what we remember.
