#baltimore writing

[markplasma]

After I graduated college I pretty much quit writing because I was burned out and didn't have workshops or classes to keep me on my game. In the last few months I've been writing a lot more--still not as much as I did in school, but definitely more than nothing--and on Sunday at the Crown I'll be reading a few sonnets and maybe a couple of limericks. There are six other great local writers reading their work as well: https://www.facebook.com/events/388981061267609
