- We have two new members! Jane & Rachel. And there was much rejoicing.
- It was universally acknowledged that we are horrible people and that we seem to be physically incapable of commenting on Dan's story online. So we FINALLY read it aloud at the meeting, and will be sending him feedback shortly.
- We discussed Becky's story "Bibliophilia."
- Becky mentioned that if you want to write a story of up to 10,000 words about something weird having to do with books, you have until March 31st to submit it to this anthology! (Full details can be found at that link.)
- We discussed Chapter 4 of Glenn's novel.
- We discussed Raphael's new poem/theater piece.
- Rachel brought up the fact that the Association of Writers & Writing Programs (AWP) is having its annual meeting in Chicago the weekend after next! That means there will be lots of off-site literary events going on around the city; here's a list. Maybe we should go to some? (Let's discuss on the google group, or comment on this post.)
- We think more events might be fun in general. We should find some readings to attend? (Or perhaps we should even PARTICIPATE in some meetings? Discuss.) Chicago Writers Association has a list of recurring readings in the city.
- Jane & Rachel are starting a book club that features short story collections. More details to follow.
- Our next meeting will be Tuesday, March 6th at 7:30 p.m. at Becky's apartment.
- If you so choose, you have 24 hours to call dibsies by emailing the google group. If you don't remember how dibsies work, see this post.
Anyway, that's about all for tonight. I'll see you all in March!
