New blog - for anyone that's interested

I wanted to share a new personal blog I created. It contains (or will contain) pictures and writings (poetry, fiction and nonfiction) that I take/do. I know some of you enjoy this stuff ;) so I thought I'd post it here for anyone that's interested.

Hi guys,

I don't know how many of you are reading this, but I thought it would be interesting in case you are! In 1102, we read Edwidge Danticat's short story "Night Women," and it would be a wonderful opportunity to meet the author herself.

Here's the link http://www.hmsf.org/ and below is the info directly related to this event.
