Bylines 2008: My Week’s Page in the Planner!

A few posts ago I wrote about the Bylines 2008 weekly planner my short essay was chosen for. I just receieved my copy in the mail this week! I am stoked.!! You can see my entry below. (You can click to enlarge it to read the entry.)

I was bummed a little bit since that week is already over, however it was the week I was at Wilkes for my creative writing residency, so it was acutally perfect! The week I spent with my writer friends and mentors is on the other page of an essay about writing! I love it!

If anyone is interested, you can learn more about this planner for writers, visit http://www.bylines.com/. I am really impressed- it’s a very cool book with some neat features for writers.

Bylines 2008: I was chosen as one of 53 writers….

There is a really cool calendar for writers called Bylines. Each year they seek 53 writers to tell their story for use on one of the week sections. This year, the editor chose mine. I can’t wait to see what week my quote falls on!
