You got me with those bear hunters. They're all over my mountains right now, and this is a week I dread all year. It's soooo disturbing. In other news, I can't wait for the workshop on Saturday!

Lovely essay. Thank you for reminding us to keep our writing alive. The bear hunt example is excellent.

On November 1, I participated in a mass book launch with six other poets. We did good promotional work and got a nice turnout. On November 2, I had a signing with five other poets (some overlap with those at the launch) and we did an impromptu reading to a smaller but enthusiastic crowd, I thought about attending the metaphor workshop, but could not have been fully present.

I wish the other Journey in Place writing community members such success. I know some of you are more successful. Working together is always a good idea. If seven writers hold a joint presentation and each persuades ten people to come, a seventy-person audience hears your work.
