I can't believe it's been over a month since I updated this. I am bad bad bad. I have been writing, have over 30 articles on Helium now, waiting for bonus money to kick in. I also finished the giant blanket I was knitting for my daughter and started making jewelry. I'm wearing a braclet and necklace I made this morning. I got an email saying my blog was in the search engine, and I thought Jeesh! I should update that. So here I am.
The other cool news is that Marshall Festival is back this year. Marshall Festival is a rural writing festival held periodically on the Southwest Minnesota State University campus in Marshall, MN. It is not held every year, so you really have to keep your eyes and ears open, if not harness a bit of psycic ability. (Promotion for the event has been a bit lacking in recent years.) This year it runs October 28 -31st. Most, if not all events are free and open to the public and include readings (poetry, fiction, nonfiction), panel discussions, art shows, tributes, folk music concerts and more.
Participants in past festivals hace included Robert Bly, Faith Sullivan, Meridel LeSuer, Howard Mohr, Ted Kooser, Greg Keillor, Linda Hasselstrom and much much more.
Here's the link to what's going on this year. Hope to see you there!

Ooh, I love Ted Kooser's poetry. Wish I could be there!
