Reading Events This Year
I try to get out to at least one reading event or other kind of writing thing a month. I’m involved in a lot of stuff online and like having as much time to write as possible, but there’s so much going on out there and I need to see some of it. In past years, that’s involved trying to hit a reading at Tattered Cover at least once a month. Given other happenings in the area, I’ve had to cut that back a bit. Still, I’ve kept busy.

This doesn’t include a few readings where I read myself, though I got to hear some amazing authors read at those, just because I don’t keep track of things where I participate in the same way that I do when I’m just audience. It’s different in my mental accounting.
