Finals have finished, the spring term is over, and summer has officially begun for college students.
For the last week I've been out of Furman, I've endeavored in some more writing opportunities. Not only have I been diligently working on rewriting my novel, but I've been on the writing scene in Columbia. Twice! On Wednesday, I went with some fellow poets from the Aiken area to Mind Gravy's open mic in Columbia. There, I met some fantastic poets and some excellent songwriters. I even read a new poem of mine titled "An Elegiac Reverie." My friend, Derek Berry, did a reading of his work, including a piece from his poetry book titled Skinny Dipping with Strangers. Check him out at http://derekberry.wordpress.com/. Just today, my friends and I went to the South Carolina book festival. Our wallets cried as we purchased a large quantity of books, but it was certainly worth it. We went to a panel or two, found familiar faces in the crowd of people, and enjoyed chatting with the South Carolina authors. Overall, a very successful day and a great way to begin summer.
