It\u2019s been a while since I did a book related post, no? Oh, I guess it\u2019s been a while since I did any post. That explains so much. Anyway, there are a few things on the calendar this spring.<\/p>\n
THIS Friday, May 18th<\/sup>, which is incidentally my mother\u2019s birthday and the anniversary of the Mt St Helens eruption, the Young Survival Coalition is putting on a very fancy event at the Pan Pacific Hotel downtown. It\u2019s called Courage Night (rawr) and there will be four of us writer and breast cancer survivors reading and talking. And as if that weren\u2019t enough, there will be appetizers including \u201cboneless buffalo chicken bites\u201d AND \u201cfruit skewers.\u201d What more could a girl want? Also a no host bar. There\u2019s that too. It starts at 7:00 and you can find out more info and RSVP here<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the hope of encouraging and helping others write their stories, I\u2019ll be teaching a free writing class at Gilda\u2019s Club in Seattle on June 28th<\/sup>. Anyone who has been affected by cancer can sign up, and really, I can\u2019t imagine many people can say they haven\u2019t been affected by cancer, so that means you, you can sign up if you want. Really, I\u2019d love to see you. Or you can tell someone about it. You can find out more and RSVP here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hope to enjoy a fruit skewer with you on Friday!<\/p>\n PS \u2013 if you\u2019ve read Who in This Room: The Realities of Cancer, Fish, and Demolition<\/em>, I\u2019d love for you to write a review on Goodreads or Amazon or Indiebound or the wall of a public bathroom, wherever you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n xoxo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s been a while since I did a book related post, no?
