This past Monday was my last evening hosting The World of Publishing, an Internet radio show that I’ve been with for just over a year and a half. Part of me is relieved, and part of me mourns the passing of my participation in the show; all in all, a pretty normal reaction to the end of any era.
There are a lot of good reasons for moving on, but it’s going to take a while for me to shed my “Dr. J.” persona, one that was bestowed on me by my producer and one that I’ve really loved assuming. I’ve loved knowing that I was touching a lot of lives (we had anywhere from a couple hundred listeners to a few terrific bumps up into the thousands). I’ve also loved talking on-air with a wide swath of the publishing world — authors, agents, editors, and publicists — and have learned a lot through my many conversations with them.
I always asked guests for their advice to beginning writers, and while the advice varied, more often than not it had to do with perseverance. So if you’re reading these blogs because you dream of writing, take this to heart: never give up. On writing. On hobbies that open your heart. On life.
– Jeannette, the erstwhile Dr. J.
