When I said I needed some hope I wasn't lying.
And when the Wick Poetry Center delivered, I became a true believer.
For the first time in probably years, I actually feel like a worthwhile writer & contributor to the Creative Writing community.
And I must say it feels pretty good.
Don't get me wrong, I've been doing readings & loving every minute of them, but something about being back in Kent & coming full circle from the kid who went to the readings to being the kid reading meant the world to me. And it motivated me in ways I'm not ready to articulate.
Apart from the fact that I got to spend time with some of my favorite kids who made me feel "oh-so-ready-to-pop-one-out."
Now that I'm home do I still feel that way?
No...Yes...Maybe...No...
But what I feel like is writing. Which can be like having a baby. Good enough for now.
I'm not doing my trip any justice...Just know that the readings were phenomenal. The panel was lively & rigorous at times. And I was always my usual freak-show self.
Once more links become available I'll be posting.
Until & between then I'll be writing.
I really wish I had some pics...
My new fav heros: Tony, Arlan, Carly, & Katherine.
Confession: I cried so HARD when Katherine & I said our good-byes I looked like an idiot.

I miss you so much already.
Thanks for your words and your hand.
aww how excellent. I Miss Katherine too--she was one of my favorite parts of the "kent experience." Actually I miss all of you guys--and equally disappointed I haven't had a chance to hear you read in so long.
There will be an "again..."
