June Writers Meeting

Set your reminder's for our next One Word at a Time writer's meeting on June 14. I've been running ads in the Osceola Sentinel and in St. Cloud in the News inviting the public to join our group. I've had a couple inquiries.

We will meet as usual at Susan's Courtside Cafe, June 14, 6:00PM - 8:00PM. Have some coffee or a sandwich and come prepared to read what you've written.

Bring a short article, story, or poetry to read and share. If you don't have any short pieces, bring an excerpt from your novel. If you want critiques, make several copies that others can take home and study. Include your contact information, so they can give you some feedback.

I'm going to be arranging some speakers to come, so come with some ideas of what you want learn.

See you in a couple weeks.

February Meeting Notes

I feel like we accomplished some business matters at the last meeting. We discussed meeting times and days and frequency. Since everyone wasn't there, I want to survey everyone about this. Let me know or enter discussion on what days, times you prefer to meet for our group. We set it up a while back for Thursday, but we don't necessarily have to keep it that way. Also let me know if meeting once a month works for you or if you prefer to meet twice a month, same day or different day.

We spoke briefly about the anthology that we started taking submissions for a year ago. This is not progressing as expected. If we want to continue with it, we should consider submission guidelines again. Jenean suggested marketing it on the internet. She has a writing site on Amazon that might work. It would cost less than printing it. Share your thoughts.

One of my goals for the group this year is to bring in some speakers. I met some fascinating people at the last conference and hope to invite them. Do you have any preferences in subject matter?

Oh, Janean is going to help post to this blog. If anyone else wants to, she or I can invite you. We are investigating how to do that. I did it once. It worked for Janean but Vicki said she couldn't get it to work for her.

It's going to be a Great Writing Year! Join us in March. No agenda yet, I'm open to suggestions.
