These are my maternal grandparents. See the beautiful lady on the right? Best storyteller, ever! Love you and thank you for all those scary stories!
I am not only pursuing storytelling and writing full time, but I am a full-time grad student as well. I am currently taking a grant writing course at UTEP (University of Texas at El Paso). Go Miners! For people like me, who have been out of the college scene for a while, I am enrolled in a program that is completely online. Thus, all the students and professors I work with are online. I only know them through this BlackBoard interphase. One of the students in my class, insisted I start a blog to inform El Pasoans about the projects I am working on to increase awareness of storytelling as a performance art.
First project: I got the green light from the Tejas Storytelling Association to start an official storytelling guild in EP!
I will be recruiting at the El Paso Writers’ League Annual Book Festival and Open House on Saturday, October 14, 2017 at the Dorris Van Dorn Public Library from 12:30 pm to 5 pm. You can meet our local authors and, if you have the writing bug, join the league!
