Super-charged Block

A super-charged block of creative writing, that is.

Next week, I'll be part of a marathon of readers at Drexel University's Week of Writing. The marathon of readers begins on Monday at 11AM, and continues until 3PM. It starts again on Tuesday at 12:30, and continues until 3PM. That's over SIX HOURS of creative writing comin' your way.
