I thought it would be cool to try to post a word of the day every now and then. I follow a group called Word Porn on Facebook that constantly posts interesting words and their meanings. Here's the one for today:
Hello there, wordsmiths!
Our good friend Jeff has graciously given me the information for several more word-related opportunities! This time, I have some scholarships for you to look into. Take a peek:
Fishtrap is a nationally known writing workshop right here in Oregon. They're offering two scholarships for youth for the summer 2014 workshop. Scholarships are available to any person under 35 years of age, and high school and college students are especially encouraged to apply. Summer Fishtrap Scholarship applications are accepted from January 1 through February 3 at 5 PM (PST).

My apologies for being a bit absent on this blog lately! There's been plenty going on, of course. Last Friday we had our second successful Word Mob! Thanks to all who participated, as well as those who helped make it all possible. You know who you are ;)

Just some announcements and information:
1. Everyone should check out Poetics Corvallis, a local poetry group that meets the first Fridays of the month at Interzone cafe. Follow that link to their Facebook page and learn all about them!
2. I am looking for submissions! From anyone, about anything! Thanks to one of our fellow poets Kent, we now have a connection at the Commuter. What I would like is to receive emailed poem submissions every week to put in the Commuter. Sometimes we have a theme, other times we do not. When I start receiving emails I can let people know the specifics, but it's a pretty laid-back process! My only requirement is that I receive poems by Thursday of the week.

3. The next Word MOB will be Friday, January 31st!
And now, a video for your utter enjoyment:
