Spoof on the Raven

Once upon a midday dreary
as I laundered weak and weary
in faded housecoat that I as housewife wore
there suddenly came a rapping
'twas certainly a tapping at my utility room door
'twas just the wind and nothing more...

(and so begins my spoof on The Raven... and no, I am not a housewife nor do I wear housecoats)

Workshop a Success Last Night

Nathan Richardson and I had the pleasure last night of leading the Spiritual Writing Workshop, from Inspiration to Publication, at Russell Memorial Library. At least 22 writers turned out to hear the ins and outs of publishing and share their own experiences. All ages were represented, even some teens who are working on their own novels. I always get excited when I see young people who are actively honing their craft. There were a lot of great writers and friends in the crowd and I would have loved for all of them to have read some of their works but there wasn't enough time for that. Bill Blake won the door prize basket of three books, candy and cookies. We've been asked to do another presentation like this in the future and I'm looking forward to it. We havn't set a date for the workshop yet but it's in the works.
