I hosted the open mic last night at the
1923 Cafe last night. It was rough, but with the help of some friends, I got through it just fine.
I was also told by poet I respect very much that she thought my poetry was good,, but that my prose/essays were "fucking amazing".
I'm so flattered. She asked me to come to her class tonight. She says she wants to mentor me - to push me to write for a living.
