Boy, Did I Need This

I woke up this morning to find an e-mail from VerbSap accepting an essay of mine for publication. The essay was one of those I worked on during National Novel Writing Month last November. It's also one of the few nonpromotional things I've been able to work on since November. It's a great load off my mind to feel I've actually written something. And what's more, it's something someone wants to publish.

When the essay is up at the site, I will post a link.

Ah, it's late winter, early spring and time for writers' conferences again. Graduate and undergraduate creative writing students from the four Connecticut State University campuses, along with outstanding student writers from the state's high schools, are invited to the Fourth Annual State-wide Writing Conference at Western Connecticut State University on Saturday May 6. On Sunday May 7, writing workshops will be open to the public.

Where were the student writers' conferences when I was a student?
