When I first published “Of Writers and Coffeeshops” in 2011, I was amazed by the response. Several readers commented and shared whether they could or couldn’t work in coffeeshops. Unfortunately, those comments have been lost. They didn’t survive the move from one site to another. I’m not sure it matters too much; the readers and I were defeated by one Amber Avines. Her first job after graduating college was as a television reporter. She can write anywhere and under any circumstance. A lack of caffeine or a crowded coffeeshop won’t and doesn’t faze her.
Words Done Write
Write Right and the Entourage
Amber Avines of Words Done Write asked me to consider submitting a drawing to the Locali Comic Contest. I said I would (I did submit an entry.), which led to us joking that I might have to make a trip to Los Angeles if I were to win. Once people heard about a potential – and unlikely – trip to L.A., everyone wanted to go as my event coordinator. I think four event coordinators for one person is a little excessive, but what do I know?
