My Interview With Kendall Defoe, College Instructor and Author

Today, the Interview is with vocal creator Kendall Defoe. He is a poet and college Instructor. He has been with Vocal since February 2018, that's 7 years. He has written over 742 stories and two self-published books under his belt. He has several Top Stories and three Vocal achievements.

Mariann: Where are you from?

Kendall: I am from Canada.

Mariann: What do you like most about Canada?

Kendall: Canada...well, it tends to leave you alone, and I like the drama of our weather.

Mariann: What word describes you as a writer?

Kendall: I'm "Stubborn" enough to think that my writing matters. I have to do it.

Mariann: What attracts you to read a story on Vocal?

Kendall: I look at titles and sometimes authors. These are bad habits because they can cause you to overlook someone new and remarkable.

Mariann: What did you like about Vocal that made you join?

Kendall: It had better set up than other pages I've used. Vocal makes me feel I'm part of a real community. Vocal should allocate more than one day a week to receive feedback on our work. And more categories.

Mariann: What genre do you like to write about on Vocal?

Kendall: I enjoy poetry, nonfiction, humor, and articles. Occasionally, I enjoy art, politics, and music.

Mariann: What other categories would you add to Vocal?

Kendall: Psychology, success, and more.

Mariann: When did you start writing?

Kendrall: I was fourteen and realised that I was writing or attempting to do so—poems and stories when I should have been doing my math homework. A friend of mine asked for song lyrics when I was in the middle of a programming assignment, and he won a contest with the lyrics I wrote in about ten minutes.

I realized that I could positively impact people through my work. For example, I used to write poems for women leaving our shared house in Tokyo to go back to their home countries. They would often tell me I reduced them to tears.

Mariann: How long did you live in Tokyo, Japan?

Kendall: I lived in Tokyo for three years. I taught ESL and wrote a few reviews. I help translate work information into English. (Strange to remember this now. I translated liner notes for a musician.)The Japan Times published one of my reviews near my birthday.

Mariann: What are your future goals?

Kendall: My future goal is to have a future. Be a Published Author and have a nicer Home.

Mariann: Can you describe your writing space?

Kendall: I call it spare and practical. I don't write as often in my bedroom. The temptation to nap or do nothing is too strong in there.

Mariann: If you could interview a Vocal creator, who would it be, and what would be the first question you would ask the creator?

Kendall: It would be Annie Kapur. I would ask her about her life and work in the UK.

There, you have an interview with our very own Kendall Defoe. He is a very private person, but he has given me the privilege to interview him. He spent three years teaching in a foreign country, that's an amazing courage. The Japan Times published one of his reviews. Kendall remains very humble.
