There are a lot of great open mike's in the area and I doubt many people would pay to attend. The 11th at 8pm is one of my favorite's at Jackson's Java. Hosted by Iodine. As an MFAer, I'll tell ya, I did it for the writing so I could focus and be around other writers. The job market for teaching is so difficult right now and pretty thankless unless you have numerous books and awards under your belt. Let's see what else in the rant? Sorry to hear about the rejection. I had three this week myself! Do you know about Duotrope? Another great resource for submitting. :) I doubt I'll make it to Green Rice tonight but it definitely is still on my radar of possibilities!

Anyway, I was going to comment about AFP. I had never heard of her, actually. Apparently I live in the same sort of bubble she does in that I don't know or recognize a lot of famous people. She writes too much for me to include her on my Google Reader, but I respect her attitude on life. Thanks for the links. -DrC PS. Still on the fence about Mastodon Weekend. You gonna be there?
