Being an avid (dare I say obsessed) fan of the Sleeping Giant and a regular, in season, volunteer at the Welcome Kiosk (soon to be a Welcome Center) at the Park, the name certainly caught my eye. On at Saturday or Sunday, in between answering hikers' questions and sharing Giant history, I attempt bits of doggeral in haiku format based on what I notice. Nothing I've ever shared, but it's fun. I'll check out your next meeting. Thanks!
Oh - and what I'm reading this week: Warrior Girl Unearthed by Angeline Boulley - the sequel to Firekeeper's Daughter.
Stop by the Park some Sat/Sun - I'm there 9-3, weather permitting. I LOVE talking about the Giant! Been researching the history for maybe 15 years. It's such a treasure!
Wow! I’m excited to hear about the adventure you have launched. Brava! And although I live mostly in Italy, I am in New Haven for a chunk of each year, so I have some local friends who will want to know about this literary adventure. I spent much of my 33 years of teaching at Yale encouraging young writers, and I’ve been sharing your posts with an aspiring
writer who is the granddaughter of an old friend who lives in Italy. Who knows? You and your writer friends may be inspiring an international movement! Avanti!👏👍💪✍️
That sounds wonderful, Kathy! Excellent advice on writing and life. Community is often the missing ingredient. Bowling Alone is all the more true today.

Hope to meet you soon, too, Julie! And I'm very interested to hear there's a Welcome Center coming at SG!

Sometimes it can be hard to get out the door. But it's totally worth it. Necessary, even, and not just for writers.
