Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The reading will serve to raise the quality, type, and number of arts opportunities in our region. The public library is a venue open to all. 1, Stories, 2. Attendance data from the public event, 3. Observed behavior change in writing practice to complete stated project.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I did get at least 8 essays started and many completed. Each are in various states, but I have enough material to know what my book is a viable project. However, getting an essay to a state of completion took much longer than I anticipated.
