Karen Propp commented on the blog post 'Where To, She Writes?'

Kamy, Thanks for this interesting post and for sharing developmental issues from your catbird seat. As someone who joined on early to SheWrites it's been rewarding to watch the site grow and grow and grow -- in breadth as well as in numbers.…

The Boston gathering will be hosted by none other than Jaclyn Friedman, author of "Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and a World Without Rape (and one of Publishers' Weekly's Top 100 Books of 2009)," and visionary leader of Women, Action Media (WAM!). At the meetup writers will take part in the She Writes "Book Communion," where attendees arrive with one book, their own or another She Writers', new or gently used, and leave with another book as a meaningfully way to support one another's work. We will also be blowing out a candle and making a wish for our upcoming writing year -- along with She Writers gathering in 16 cities around the country. I hope you will be part of this historic (well, at least kind of cool) occasion, and RSVP now to Jaclyn here.

Did I remember right and you were featured on the NaNo-website with your young writers? I am not sure if I remember that right but I do remember reading with astonishment about what the Young Writer's program looks like in action. Would love to do something like it, maybe once my son is in school.
