I continue to work as a workshop administrator there so it's still a challenge to do the write-a-thon but I've found that guilt truly focuses the mind, and with the write-a-thon I get work done that I would never have otherwise. My write-a-thon page is at http://clarionwest.net/events/writeathon/NeileGraham If you want to sponsor other writers this year, there's a whole wonderful list of writers at http://clarionwest.net/events_page/write_a_thon And not to steal his thunder, but the Clarion workshop in San Diego is also running a write-a-thon concurrent with their workshop, and Greg is participating. His page is here: http://www.theclarionfoundation.org/writeathon/wrtn-writerpage.php?writerID=1230 Their full list is available at http://www.theclarionfoundation.org/writeathon/wrtn-choosewriters.php Support writers who love music! - --Neile n.p. The rain outside my window ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2011 04:09:51 -0400 From: Joseph Zitt Subject: Re: Not music, but writing Inspired by Neile's post, and on a somewhat similar note: I'll be returning to San Francisco for the official release event for my new book, "19th Nervous Breakdown: Making Human Connections in the Landscape of Commerce." I spent much of the past decade working as Classical CD Guy at Borders in Union Square. This book (my fifth) is based on my experiences there. Sunday, July 10 7 7:00pm - 10:00pm Books Inc. Opera Plaza 601 Van Ness San Francisco, CA As music writer Greg Sandow said of the book, "I dont know any other book quite like this one. To say I was touched and charmed would be an understatement. A love of many kinds of music fuses here with warmth for many kinds of people. And with acute affection for all the surprises that music and people can bring." There's more about the book at http://19nb.wordpress.com/ The official event Facebook page is at https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=230166997004075 (And I'm trying a Kickstarter-like thing to help get the word out about the book. There's info at http://www.josephzitt.com/wordpress/archives/473 ) I've been somewhat out of touch with Ecto in recent years, though I came back to reading the list a couple of months ago. It's been approximately forever since I've seen anyone from the list, so I'd love to catch up with whoever might be around. (And do any Ectophiles live in Cleveland? I've been living in Cleveland Heights for several years now.) We return you now to fuzzy blueness, already in progress... ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #137 ***************************
