Seth Godin’s Linchpins To Meet Up Everywhere Tuesday, December 7 2010

I thought I was going to be able to be in two places at once…kind of. You see, I was already committed to my students to have a publication party on Tuesday Dec.7 at the Artists Union Gallery. But since that didn’t start until 730, I thought I’d go early to the Linchpin gathering at Candlelight, then slip out and join the reading at the AUG.

Unfortunately, the publication is still being bound at the college. There were some complications and confusions and the upshot is that they just didn’t get around to binding it and now, well, now I had to make a tough decision. The truth is, I’m a Linchpin when it comes to my students and my publication. I have to do this for them; if I don’t, it won’t happen. Attending the gathering of Linchpins is something I’d like to do for me. But I’m truly not as indispensible to that group as I am to my students.

And if you’re wondering what in the world I’m talking about, what is all this Linchpin stuff and who is the world is Seth Godin, then just follow the link and read some post about it over at The Write Alley. You’ll be glad you did–because I have a strong suspicion that if you’re a reader of this blog, you too are a Linchpin. (And if you are, please say so in the comments!!)

There are several groups meeting in Ventura County; I plan to join Linchpins in Ventura at 7pm at Candlelight, located on Santa Clara at Figueroa. Let us know you’ … Read More
