SOLSC2020 Days 4&5/31: #AWP and The Alamo

Thanks to Two Writing Teachers for providing space and March challenge for writers. 

I missed yesterday. I was tired and fell asleep. Today was the first full day of #AWP Conference.

Last year the conference was in Portland and there were about 6000 in attendance.

This year? Not so much. The Coronavirus scare caused many presenters to cancel. And many vendors were a no shows. In some ways, walking around the vendors with space was refreshing.

​One of the sessions was actually cancelled but no one knew it. It was a tribute to a poet who had passed away. What was cool was people in the audience came to the mic and shared a poem by the poet or inspired by the poet. so moving.

After the second session, I was able to walk to The Alamo. Honestly, I really didn’t know much was about the history. Fascinating
