- We had an epic spread of food, so those of you who weren't here really did miss out on some deliciousness.
- We read more of Tanise's "Barhopping." Discussion ensued.
- We read Tanise's short story inspired by Andrew Wyeth's painting "Christina's World." Discussion ensued.
- We read Dan's short story inspired by Man Ray's painting "La Fortune." Discussion ensued.
- We read Raphael's short story inspired by Renoir's painting "Two Sisters (On the Terrace)." Discussion ensued.
- We read Felipe's short story based on the famous Woodstock poster. Discussion ensued.
- We read Becky's short story based on Gregory Crewdson's untitled 1998 photograph. Discussion ensued.
- Most of us decided that we're going to keep working on our painting-inspired stories because we rather like them. Prompt success!
- We discussed how one day we're all going to be very famous writers collectively known as "The Chicago School," and how high school students will be forced to read us in class and hate every minute of it.
- We've decided that the next month is going to be unofficial DWChitown "Break Through Your Boundaries" month. Either at the next meeting or the meeting after, try to bring in a piece that you would normally be uncomfortable writing. Write in a genre you've never tried, write a sex scene, etc. Obviously, this isn't school, so you don't have to. But, you know...try. Let's get inspired, people!
Our next meeting will be Tuesday, May 7th at Becky's place. Hopefully it won't be all rainy and gross by then. Submit things! See you next time.
