You Are Cordially Invited….

This Saturday, May 7, my dear friend and co-teacher Deborah Sussman and I are proud to present the 9th (we think it’s 9th, we’ve lost count!) Mothers Who Write, Mothers Who Read event at stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Arts.
The event will begin at 2 p.m. It’s free and open to the public, and will feature 22 (!) of our current and former students, reading their work. We don’t advise bringing your kids — some material will not be appropriate. But please bring yourself. Your mom, if she’s available. And some Kleenex.
Here’s a sneak peek at a piece former student Kim Porter will be reading:
I cry when I sing.
I also pee when I laugh. And sneeze and cough and jump for joy. But that’s a defect I’ve come to terms with. It hardly bothers me anymore. What bothers me is that I cry when I sing.
I hate that I cry when I sing.
Ok, that’s not true. I love to cry when I sing, I hate to get caught. And I always get caught.
We have a couple workshops planned for summer (not just limited to moms!) and registration for the next Mothers Who Write workshop will begin July 1st. Details here (with more to follow soon).
Everyone else cries when I sing.
