Plugging My Blog: "Matt Duckworth Underwater"

Dear Fellow Faculty and Students,

I have started a blog that I invite you to check out. Here, I have started a collection of mini-essays, postcards, ruminations, artwork, favorite quotations, short-short fiction, and bibliographical annotations (more fun than it sounds!) in a forum organized, sometimes loosely, around an aquatic theme.

I hope you will be amused, at least.

Thanks,

Matt

Lunch with writers?

Greetings, fellow wordsmiths!

In addition to our work at CCSF, we (Anna Mills and Erin O'Briant) are
both writers and are interested in socializing with other writers (of
any stripe) on campus. Therefore, we're planning an informal lunch at
PCR at noon on Thursday, April 30 for all who are interested in meeting
other self-identified writers who work here. If it goes well, we'll do
it a couple of times per semester.

At the first lunch, we can all talk about what we'd like to get out of a
regular writers' lunch--support, check-ins, a chance to seek out
critique partners, or just the opportunity to think of ourselves as
writers for an hour. We can also consider different times.

Sound fun? Please email Erin at eobriant@ccsf.edu or Anna at
amills@ccsf.edu by Monday, April 20 so we'll reserve enough room at PCR.
Staff, faculty, and administrators from all corners of CCSF are welcome;
please forward this email as you see fit. Of course, we have no funding,
so folks will have to buy their own lunches. Maybe there's something in
the stimulus package for writers eating salad together?

Happy writing,
Anna Mills and Erin O'Briant
