Hello my fellow writers, friends and those who read my blog (thank you)!  I kinda forgot all the things my blog exists for until just now!

I was absorbed in my fall poetry and trying to decide what I should not post on here, and what I should post when I remembered… Ah! This is not just for poetry.  (My brain has also been on vacation mode as of late).

My friend, Damion LaPier, is requesting input for feedback on a poetry collection that he has put together.  He has created a contest for us.  The exciting thing is that we get to compete to be editors and readers.  By October 19th, 2011 at midnight, a little letter telling him the reason he should select us should be submitted if there is interest in participating. 

I like this contest because I personally value feedback from my peers a great deal and feel that I would be lost without it.  I know many of us depend heavily on their constructive criticism as well…. And I love to edit, there is that too. 

If you are interested and want to find out more, please check out his blog post, which explains it all in detail.
