See you in the funny papers

This morning's paper had an article about our upcoming 8th Annual Central Peninsula Writers Night. And, while the photographer did not get a good shot of me, he managed to get me in the background - fuzzy and smug looking. I think he caught me in a smile, but it sure is hard to tell from that picture. ;-)

I have entered something every year but the first two and out of the six have been invited to read five times. This year will be my fifth - the judges chose a poem from my entries. That's just pretty cool.

Writers Night is sort of a big thing for us - it's a night of sweaty palms and sticky throats and lots of extreme nerves. Last year the Ladybug brought the new buglet to hear his Nana. Only, he was not at all interested in what was going on around him. ;-) He slept through most of the dinner and readings. And, but of course, he was the toast of the party - lots of oooohhhsss and aaaahhhhsss.

The person quoted in the article, VW, is leaving on an out of state trip the 8th - she has been the backbone of this year's WN and is leaving some of the final touches in my hands. Oh, dear! Well, I am calling on LOTS of others to help. (delegate, delegate, delegate)

Have a great Monday everyone.
