I’ll be reading something new from the 100 Days project at Bodega’s monthly storytelling series. This series is always the first Sunday in November at 7 PM (11/4/2012). Bodega Wine Bar: St. Nicholas & Troutman, in Bushwick. Take the L to Jefferson.
I read a post-Sandy essay instead. I got a standing ovation, my first. Thanks, Bushwick. –UPDATED 11/05/2012
Comments closedI’ll be giving a short presentation on my writing workshops at 3rd Ward’s FREE Wind-Up monthly networking event this Thursday, August 30 at 7:30 PM. The spotlight for this month is small business, a subject that is very close to my heart, since I’ve been a small business owner as well as a freelancer for most of my life. You’ll have a chance to hear about the workshops that we teach as well as let us know what kinds of workshops you’d like to see offered.
Read about the event and the other speakers here. Hope to see you Thursday!

I’m accumulating a lot of words and stories through the 100 Days project so I’m looking forward to reading some of the rawer material while I get started this fall editing several new stories that have originated from this project.
Upcoming: The Highwaymen NYC #6 will be at Brooklyn Fireproof on August 31, at 7 PM. I’ll be reading at least three brand-new poems specifically for this event, which is also my mom’s birthday.
Also upcoming: On Sunday, September 2, I’ll be reading at Bodega Wine Bar, where storyteller Robert Sempel has been hosting the Bodega Monthly storytelling series since the departure of Kelly Brannon.
Further along and upcoming: We Bushwick writers as the 1441 collective are planning lots and lots and lots of readings and events in and around Bushwick and NYC for the fall. Maybe even another book swap, and more cool things to do.

I am starting to prepare for a very special poetry reading on August 31, 2012, for The Highwaymen NYC reading series. August 31 will mark the second full moon of August, making it a “blue moon.” The Highwaymen NYC series began this year with a poetry reading held at a different location on each full moon. In addition to the blue moon which will make it a special occasion, August 31 would have been my mother’s 68th birthday. I was honored to be invited to read poetry for this event by the lovely series curator & founder, Elizabeth, and I certainly feel privileged to have such a rare opportunity to honor my mother. I am planning to write new pieces for the event and I hope to write something that will bring her to life for the audience. Thank you, Elizabeth! More info on this will be posted when it’s available!

THREE new writing workshops at 3rd Ward starting this week and continuing throughout the summer:
1–Learn to write a press release, release it into the wilderness, and talk about how you’ll be promoting your event. One night workshop.
2–Create an artist statement for your portfolio in a workshop setting that helps you explore what you’ve always wanted to say about your art, without using clichés.
3–Write This: Bring any writing project you are stuck on to this one-night workshop that feels more like a one-on-one consulting session than a class.
