Library: Funds support Reading Outreach in Clatsop County
Gittle: One-way ticket
Continued from Page 1A
leaving her employer, Gittle decided to embark
on what she called a yearlong adventure of self
discovery.
She bought a one-way train ticket to Oregon,
a place she had thought of moving while living
in Colorado. A friend from Cape May — home
to a Coast Guard training facility — had trans-
ferred to Astoria. Gittle connected with her on
Facebook, stayed with her a couple of days and
continued exploring the Pacific Northwest.
Over the next year, Gittle would cross the
country six times, riding trains, hitchhiking,
helping friends move and going to weddings.
She would finish visiting every U.S. state and
go to New Zealand, Guatemala and Iceland.
Gittle moved to the North Coast early last
year, intent on getting a job in the environmen-
tal sciences but unable to find a position. In New
Jersey, she had hosted paint-and-sip parties as
a fundraiser to pay for her dog’s surgery. She
was asked to do the same at the Astoria Golf
& Country Club and started holding monthly
parties.
When Paint with a Pint, a similar business
in downtown Astoria, closed, Gittle went full
steam and founded Proof in Painting. She hosts
up to 40 painters the third Thursday of each
month at the country club, along with private
parties.
“I’m totally mobile,” she said. “I can go to
restaurants, bars, hotels, conference rooms.”
Gittle set up a website — proofinpainting.
com — and has been marketing her business.
She also draws custom gift cards and crochets
hats, cowls, scarves and other clothing accesso-
ries, along with decorative octopuses, for sale
online and at Maiden Astoria.
While feeling content in Astoria and lay-
ing down roots, Gittle said she remains open to
change if the right opportunity comes along. “I
guess I’m just always open to a new adventure,”
she said.
(Write on Seaside!), we didn’t
really have a writing event like
this in Seaside,” Moberg said.
“One of our goals is for people to
get a sense of how the writing pro-
cess works.”
Ousley said it was an inter-
esting experience writing a story
with audience participation in
mind.
“I wrote this story knowing
it was going to belong to every-
one. Sometimes when you write a
novel you are writing it for your-
self, but with this I wrote it with
the audience in mind. It was fun
putting in some of those details,
wondering what names they will
come up with,” she said.
Holly Lorincz was one of
the presenters to stray from the
prompt, with a short story cen-
tered around a 10-minute phone
call between in-laws before a wed-
ding day. While libraries weren’t a
source of inspiration for this story,
they inspired much of her love for
writing in general, she said.
Growing up in Clatskanie,
Lorincz
remembers
spend-
ing hours in the Seaside Public
Library, reading and rereading one
of her favorite books, “The Pillars
of the Earth” by Ken Follett.
“It was a small life, but I read
all the time. I was always putting
myself in other worlds,” Lorincz
said.
Lorincz has since spun that
love of reading into a full-blown

Convention Center.
career, which began as a writ-
ing teacher in the Neah-Kah-Nie
School District. There she wrote
her first book “Smart Mouth,”
which eventually helped her
launch into a career as a liter-
ary consultant and collaborative
writer for biographies and mem-
oirs. She is listed in the top 25
Kindle Biography/Memoir writ-
ers for work on “Crown Heights,”
the story of a man named Colin
Warner who was wrongfully con-
victed of murder in New York
City, which was made into an
Amazon movie last year.
“By the time I left (Clatskanie)
to go to university, I still couldn’t
imagine myself in this big world
of publishers and clients in Man-
hattan,” she said. “But now that
I’m in that world, I’ve realized
they are all people who just want
to talk about books.”
So it’s only fitting that Lorincz,
who now lives in Manzanita,
would come back as one of the
presenting authors to support the
library that once enabled her love
of reading.
“I want to help the library
whenever I can,” she said. “It feels
like I get to give back a little bit.”
