There will be poetry readings, book signings, and other events by SCBWI.

I have a new link up on my website:

It’s a slideshow of some of my August Postcards. I only have four up right now and
the print is only one line, so I’ll be adding more and I’ll see if I can fix the
print part. Anyways it’s a fun process…

I just joined SCBWI: http://www.scbwi.org/Default.aspx 

I’ve been a local member in the Western Washington Region but decided to expand my
networking.

It was kind of cool to list all of my publications. I really didn’t realize how
many I had.

Here is my profile if you are a member and would like to view it:

I look forward to making new writer friends.

Last Wednesday, I went to a poetry reading at Parkplace Books. It was good to be back listening and reading poetry. I read a bunch of poems from August Postcards and a couple of others. I combined them to create one poem. It was an interesting experiment and to be honest I’m not really sure how it went. At some point I’ll post an August Postcard link on the website, along with some of those poems.

I look forward to the poetry reading at Parkplace Books
tomorrow. I’ve prepared a few of the poems from August Postcards and a few other
short poems. I really look forward to the event and will let you know how it
goes.


Happy Writing

I’m going to Parkplace Reading on Wednesday, the
14th. I will read my favorites from August Postcards. I haven’t
posted them, because I haven’t decided on my top five. I think I’ll post those
after the reading…

Happy Writing!

The first day of school is tomorrow, and I’m extremely excited.
Earlier in June I posted a list of books that I planned to read. I ended up
reading all of them including a few others:


The Absolutely Diary of a Part-time Indian, by Sherman Alexie


The Friendship Doll, by Kirby Larson


Star Wars: Choices of One, by Timothy Zahn


Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi #8: Ascension, by Christie Golden


Overcoming Dyslexia, by Sally Shaywitz


Echoes Of Fury, by Frank Parchman


Bridge to Terabitia, by Katherine Paterson


The First Editions of Charles Dickens, by John C.Eckel


The Complete Illustrated Guide to Tai Chi, by Angus Clark


Here are a few others I read:


The Essence Of Tea, by Shan-Tung Hsu


The Art of Forgiveness, Lovingkindness, and Peace, by Jack Kornfield


Messenger and Gathering Blue, by Lois Lowry


Bird Lake Moon, by Kevin Henkes


Parents Wanted, by George Harrar


I wasn’t disappointed with any of them. It was quite a joy to
read such a hodgepodge of books. There were a few others that I reread too.

I’ve wrapped up August Postcards. It was a fun experience. I’ll
read some of my favorite ones at the next poetry reading. I’ll also post some of
my favorites too…
