Patricia's Poet-Till-I-Plop Page--WELCOME!
Greetings!!!
You’re scoping my brand-spankin’ new, definitely official NYWC Write-A-Thon Fundraising Page! I’m a participant in the third annual daylong writing marathon sponsored by the New York Writers Coalition, an organization that offers groundbreaking creative writing workshops to the city’s underserved communities.
Beginning at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 17 at Manhattan’s Center for Independent Publishing, I’ll take my place along other ambitious wordsmiths, and—energized by your generous pledge—will write and workshop for EIGHT WHOLE HOURS (interrupted only by breaks for toilette and light sustenance).
Who knows? I may even be able to finish that blank verse novella I’m writing for our soon-to-be-ex President George Bush. All single syllable words of no more than three letters. No complex contractions. Pages to color.
Please help me help the NYWC do their wondrous work, teaching the power of the written word to seniors, the homeless and at-risk youth. Once a word reaches the page, it’s ready for the open air. And once it reaches the open air, it belongs to everyone.
Thanks in advance for your huge heart. And don’t hesitate to pass this page along to anyone you think might be interested. If the spirit moves you, set up your own page!
Hugs from here,
Patricia
