Well, despite having taken a few weeks off for some R&R,
I seem to have been quite busy, especially with writing and teaching. Which
is just fine, as they are two of the most enjoyable things I do. Well, and plus watching night baseball games at my local bar and schmoozing with fellow fans.
Following, then, are the writing and teaching updates. As for the
baseball games, I refer you to your favorite source of sports updates. Mine is WGN, mostly so I can also get the weather news from one of Chicago’s
greatest treasures, Tom Skilling.
Here is the workshop update…
On August 17, I posted two of my September workshops
currently registering: “Journaling as Spiritual Practice” at St. Margaret Mary
Church in West Rogers Park on Monday, September 18, and “Finding Your Voice,
Telling Your Stories” at the Newberry Library on Saturday, September 23.
Here’s the status of each:
The journaling workshop is half filled, so six spaces
remain. The Newberry workshop has only one space remaining.
Please revisit that August 17 post if you’d like more
information on both. I handle registration for the journal writing workshop, so
you can email or call me at madmoon55@hotmail.com,
773.981.2282.
The Newberry takes registrations for the Finding Your Voice
workshop. Online registration is closed, so please call the Library at (312)
255-3700 to sign up.
…and the writing update
On Tuesday, September 5, I was very honored to have my (brief) Vietnam
story accepted and posted on this PBS website:

On August 25, the essay I mentioned in the June 8 blogpost—“My Spiritual U-Turn—was published in
the National Catholic Reporter, both in print and online:
Oh, and on August 24,
I had a piece rejected that I’d submitted to a magazine in July. I’ve since
revised and renamed the essay and will be submitting it to another publication
within the next day or two. Onward and upward.
