Citizens of the San Fernando Valley, I’ll be reading on the CSUN campus tonight as part of the professional reading series hosted by the Creative Writing Circle. If you’re near Northridge, come on by or drop me a line. Refreshments will be served.

UPDATED: Had a really great time at CSUN last night with the Creative Writers Circle. Because CSUN is a commuter school, students interested in creative writing have carved out a niche for themselves and built their own community. These things are just as crucial to the life of a writer as reading and, you know, actually writing. Because my path was not a traditional one, it’s inspiring to see young writers who get it. Really grateful to be a part of the Creative Writers Circle community, with a special thank you to Danielle Orozco for handling all the details. I look forward to seeing these writers again as they move beyond the classroom and into the literary community at large.
