I should note that I have booked a feature at the Portland Poetry Slam in Oregon for this Sunday. If you’re nearby, spread the word.
POSTS
I have noticed that every day I am excited to post something, no matter what it is. The challenge lies mostly in remembering whether I’ve actually posted something new per day.
In the process of writing to my website, which auto-posts to my LiveJournal and to Facebook as well, I’ve also tapped into more of my other writings. I’ve written several new poems, and begun the processes on new short stories and screenplays. I’ve re-invigorated my interest in Twitter and the reading of posts and updates from most of my web contacts.
Another challenge I am a little worried about is my ability to post from the road, which I am doing right now. Posting from my desk is easy, because I am always on the internet and I get to poke-type a bit faster. Currently, my thumbs are very exercised. I just need to remember to post. So if you are a regular reader of any of my posts and notice that it is nearing midnight in your region and I have yet to post, don’t be afraid to drop me a reminder.
IN OTHER NEWS
This morning I flew to Akron, Ohio. Last week, Sierra DeMulder (fellow traveling poet) called me for assistance in getting to an airport in New England. Once settling on Boston Logan, and no longer needing my help, it turned out she booked the same flight I was on. We hung out at Logan, then she watched me eat a burrito this morning at the Charlotte airport. I love Charlotte. I saw her off to her Dallas-bound flight and proceeded to my Akron gate.
Tomorrow, I am off to Spokane, then getting picked up and motored to WSU Pullman. I’ve performed there before and excited to return. This time I am also hosting their slam and running a workshop. More schools should ask this of the poets they book. Poets: wanna ensure you’ll get more better paying gigs? Foster poetry and spoken word everywhere you go! Show them they should try what you do. You never know, you may influence and spark the next touring badass.
