Can't wait. It's called Hillside Coffee Tea 1633 Hillside Ave at the corner of Scott St. one block west of Shelbourne. (near the DQ).
Open mic volunteers get there by 7. Otherwise, the spots will get taken and we want to hear you!!
Featured readers. Please get there by 7:15 and check in with Yvonne Blomer, our host.
All students check in with me at some point in the evening so you get your marks.
If you can't come, I am sorry. We will miss you. We will put your pictures on our tables and smile at you and you can go next week. Heck, maybe we will go with you and listen to you read at the open mic.
Yay.
Get started on a new story. Two pages due Thursday. If you prefer to write more post card stories, 4 stories equals one long story. Long equals 1500 words to 3000 words.
Smoooze tonight. Introduce yourself to the SMUS kids. Their parents may have more money than God and they can sponsor you to be a writer!!! Introduce yourself to Jody Carrow, Editor-in-chief of The Claremont Review. Tell her how much you love the magazine and you appreciate her keeping it alive, etc. Tell her you are looking forward to hearing about your poems. Yay. Yay. Yay.
Look for other writers. Talk to Yvonne Blomer. Say, what's your story, Yvonne? She's a poet. She is also a cyclist who has ridden all over the world and she teaches at Camosun. You may have her for a teacher one day so get to know her now, eh?
