An intermittent exploration of the people, places, and things that compel me to tell stories.

WHY I WRITE: Meet Kelly Thomas

On April 23, 2020 By Ethan DezotelleIn Why I WriteLeave a comment

I was still pretty green as a human being during the spring semester of 1998. Hadn’t been exposed to a lot of what the world had to offer, and my horizons didn’t stretch very far.  By that point, I knew I wanted to be a writer, but I wasn’t sure what kind or how to …

Why I Write: Enter the Mystery Sleuth

On January 21, 2020January 21, 2020 By Ethan DezotelleIn Why I Write1 Comment

I didn’t go to kindergarten. The year I should have gone – 1979 – was the last year kindergarten wasn’t a legal requirement in Vermont, and circumstances being what they were, it made more sense for my parents to keep me home until first grade.  When the time came, I started school with a plethora …

“I feel like a farmer watching his corn grow. This is great!” It was another Wednesday morning at The Stowe Reporter, the weekly newspaper in Stowe, VT, that gave me my first full-time job as a reporter. We were up against our deadline, and I was in my office, pounding out the last article I …

WHY I WRITE: Unpacking the Past

On February 25, 2019February 26, 2019 By Ethan DezotelleIn Why I Write1 Comment

I was up in the attic yesterday, finally putting away Christmas decorations and doing a bit of reorganizing. In addition to those tasks, I hoped to find three items that were packed away … somewhere. Somehow, I found all three things together in the second or third storage bin I opened. They were stacked neatly …
