A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to WriteOn Joliet's semi-annual open mic night last night at the Book and Bean Cafe in Joliet. To reference one of my favorite Beatles songs, "We're getting better all the time" and that was evident in last night's readings.
If you missed last night's event and weren't able to pick up a flyer with the details of our anthology release party, it will be from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Nov. 17 at the Book Market on Plainfield Road in Joliet. Hope to see you there!
As I'm already behind on a packed Friday (deadlines, teaching tonight, working weekend), I'll just head right over to the round-up of this week's Herald-News feature stories.
Where to find my non-bylined works? Why, on this blog, of course.
I recently began assembling my brief posts and calendar listings into one convenient file and posting them on Facebook in the evening, so readers can easily choose the ones they want to read.
Now if you don't want to wait that long, you can find the Gotta Do It calendar, as well as the pets, health, faith, and arts and entertainment calendars, under the sections tab on the left hand side of http://www.theherald-news.com/. Click on "features" and the topics drop down. Gotta Do It runs under "people."
Thank you for reading The Herald-News. And for reading this blog. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Joliet woman makes 'happy family rules' easy to use
Peggy Stewart feels the wisdom is simple and so is the
delivery. No yelling. No nagging. No counting to three before enacting
consequences.
Just placemats, a gentle reminder at meals of what parents
expect from children.
It's the type of product Stewart wished she had back in her
parenting days.

An Extraordinary Life: Joliet man knew the value of hard
work
Born in a boxcar, Joseph Orosco always worked hard and
taught his children to do the same.
But Joseph did so in ways he enjoyed and with a goal of benefiting
others.
That's the spirit: Joliet area critters don Halloween
costumes
When it comes to Halloween, why should humans have all the
costume fun?
Apparently these owners – and maybe their pets – agree.
Check out our gallery of dressed-up pets and decide for
yourself.
'You never know when life is going to change'
When Derek Hogg of Channahon was diagnosed with amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis (ALS) in May 2013, neither he nor Holly Holly knew what it
was.
Derek had just turned 30.
'It's not a race, it's a marathon'
Graphic designer. Cyclist. Athlete. Graduate student.
Nick Younglove was all of these – until this past July 18,
when a diving accident left him paralyzed
just two weeks before his 27th
birthday.
'You can't prepare yourself for something like this'
Terri Lynn Schook, a Joliet Central junior, ran up the
school steps one day and passed out.
That was the first indication Terri, pictured with her
daugher Jayla Jenning and her mother Diane Schook, had cardiomyopthy or
enlargement of her heart, Terri mother's Diane Schook of Joliet said.

Mystery Diner: MyGrain Brewing Company goes for quality
experience in downtown Joliet
I wasn't disappointed in the new coffee stout option while
Iron and Steel, the double IPA, was my favorite.

Joliet church 'reforming' local connections during
reformation anniversary
Rachel Hornsby, chairman of Faith Lutheran's community life
committee, said the grants will also help participating churches build
relationships with each other.
"We're all small churches trying to do the same things
with the same amount of funds, if not less," Hornsby said. "We thought
it was a great thing to do for our community: to bless them [the other
churches] with our good fortune."
