Night of Writing Dangerously
November 06, 20180 Comments



I am participating the final Night of Writing Dangerously event on November 18th.  This epic evening of revelry and words is to raise money for the creative writing programs in schools and communities around the world (through the National Novel Writing non profit organization)

Any assistance you can give will help kids and adults get the encouragement, structure and inspiration needed to develop their creative potential!

All donations are tax deductible.
