The readings were as rich and varied as this palette. Thank you writers for really putting on a great show last night. You all read so well and the pieces we heard were unforgettable. I will never look at a tree the same way, or a haunted house, or a field of flowers, pick blackberries the same. God Bless the writers! You will have to read that piece in the Anthology if you didn't hear it. I could go on . . and on.

I will give you the schedule of the online Anthology as soon as I know. . remember this is all a first time process for me and there is a lot I didn't know this year. Thankfully you were all forgiving and great to work with as I stumbled through.

I do have one big announcement. . thanks the the great minds in the room last night we picked a title for the seventh annual Northwest Plein Air Write Out 2011 Anthology:

Writers, Ghosts and Yellow Jackets
