Activism Essay is Up

Almond-shaped eyes of a deep brown hue glance to and fro, often moving before he can muster the strength to turn his head. When the grey and white drapes in the living room are open, and the sun casts its rays down upon his face, those eyes sparkle and gleam, as though nothing in the world is horrible or sad. During these times, he moves himself closer to the window, to look up at the sky.
New Writers Network Forming in Linn-Benton Area
Submitted by Larina Warnock on Wed, 07/01/2009 - 23:03 – No commentsI spent last Sunday afternoon with perhaps the most diverse group of writers I've ever seen in one place outside of a conference. There were fiction writers (literary and genre), poets, nonfiction writers (memoir, essay, and article); professional writers, beginning writers, and people just writing for themselves; young writers, old writers, and everything between; writers who started in elementary school and writers who started in their 50's; writers on five or more social networking sites and writers who don't use email. This is one of the things I love about living where I do.
