I write to freely express my creative thoughts and connect to others that can even somewhat relate to the emotion of my writing. I write to entertain and make human connections for myself and hopefully one day to others
Happy National Day on Writing!
Why do you write?
Why do I write? I write because I can't not write. I write to communicate something about the experiences of being human, to tell the stories that speak to my homeland and communities, and to attempt to be in conversation with the works of literature that are most meaningful to me.

ello MWP Colleagues,
I'm so excited to once again host Jo Ivester, author of The Outskirts of Hope, next month. Attached is her speaker's kit. She will be discussing her upcoming book, Once a Girl, Always a Boy in conjunction with the Women's Programs and LGBTQ Initiatives on WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15 at 5:30 pm in the BOBCAT LAIR.
On THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, she will be presenting on The Outskirts of Hope (my Writing 1 class text) in both my Writing 1 classes (11:30 and 1:30 in COB 1 266) and at 3:30-5:20 in a room yet to be announced.
You are all encouraged to invite your students to attend for extra credit. If you send me an email regarding your interest I will have a better idea for the size of the venue needed.
I could use help in securing a room! Dawn Trook's class may be joining mine, which would make around 40 participants, but I want it to be open for all. She is a lively and intriguing speaker and invites questions and discussion from the audience.
Jo not only speaks about her experiences in the Civil Rights movement as a child and racism today, but also about the process of writing, the importance of sharing stories, and how she became a published author.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Pam

This Wednesday at 6pm PST, MWP's John Bultena is hosting a charity stream supporting Project HOPE's .
Project HOPE's efforts provide vital care and aid, globally, since 1958. Their current efforts invlude creating sustainable health systems for Ukrainian refugees.
In addition, they will be joined by Jacob Mundell, who played Erich in the Amazon Prime series, The Expanse season 5. Jacob is a proud member of the LGBTQ community and an actor of disability; he was born missing his left hand.
Bultena's show, Abraxas' Precipice, is a role-playing game actual play of The Expanse RPG by Green Ronin Publishing. Based on the novel and television series, it is a hard sci-fi setting, that extrapolates the trajectory of humanity hundreds of years in the future as they colonize the solar system.
By using their platform and working with Jacob, Abraxas' Precipice hope to raise $1,000. This will be matched as part of the campaign, currently underway.
