Gleaning Facebook: Georgia Literary Festival

On this date I posted -- (Terrell Shaw) is headed out to the Literary Festival. We're gonna start with storytelling at the Library with Tersi Bendiburg* at ten. Y'all come! (Mother? Joan? Debi? All?)

Ruth Baird Shaw:I am reading this a 11:30...I should have hung around when i went down at 8:30 to leave some of my books down to City Hall for Barnes and Noble to sell. But i just do not have the energy... Have a great day...It is not raining!!!

BTW...If you are at the Literary Festival (In Rome this year) ..go into City Hall ..into the room on the right with Barnes and Noble, you can pick up one of the last of my Recipes Rhymes and Reflections book ...with good recipes, 19 of my best poem etc for only $10.00.

Terrell Shaw: I'm glad you changed your mind and came to part of the festival. It was great to get to be with you at Terry Kay's session, Mother. I have enjoyed several of his books. I loved his quote:

"I do not write to tell a story. I write to discover a story." 

I know it is hard to convince children that you have to write, to write. The story/article/poem/essay is discovered in the telling.

Ruth Baird Shaw:it was not a matter of changing my mind. I wish I had felt well enough to spend the day. I took my RR&R books down for Barnes and Noble to sell at 8:30 and went back to pick them up at 4. I was glad to see you and Sheila and stay with you for Terry Kay's presentation.

Betty Smith Franklin: love that reading and writing and writing. You write to know what you are thinking and imagining.

* Note from 2022 -- This was our first time too meet Tersi Bendiburg. We learned to love Tersi and heard her several times in later years and kept in close "Facebook" contact in the intervening years.
