writers week

I dont know about you guys but I think writers week is a really good time. Not only is it amazing because you get out of class, but it also gives many young writers a much needed stage to express themselves through their writing. I also like some of the speakers they bring in. I mean some of them bore me like none other, but every year I seem to get lucky with getting a couple that I really enjoy. Like today I saw Lee Allen Jones and he was really good. He talk about his childhood growing up in the "ghetto" and how he prevailed to become this successful writer/banker. He was really inspiring and a great speaker. I am also seeing Daph Willis who is a singer/songwriter. She has an excellent voice and its funny because she use to play in my basement all the time with my brother and now she is on itunes and has cds. It's awesome. Overall, writers week is one week out of the year that writers can get their stuff out there. It's a great idea and a fun time. Also, it is one week in the year that, thank god, is at least different from all the others.
