“Remember to take care of yourself. You can’t pour from an empty cup.” ~ Unknown
Met some of my gal pals – Jeanne Marie, Erin, and Deb – for an evening of readings at Apollo Pizza in Richmond. Silas House closed down the evening with a beautiful story about fishing with his aunt Sis whom he has written about many times. We also had the opportunity to hear readings by Indiana author Frank Bill and Kentuckian Rebecca Gayle Howell (below with Silas). She was just a delight to meet and I enjoyed her essay a great deal. One of my favorite parts of the evening, besides hanging with my homeys, was Silas calling the audience “literary citizens.” I fell in love with the term and I was especially proud to be among the ranks of the “literary citizens” tonight.
