Minutes! 5-28-13

Hey everyone. Wanted to post these last night, but the internet in my apartment decided to stop working. Here's what you missed:
  • Gena came back to us! And there was much rejoicing.
  • We read Tanise's latest scene from Barhopping. Discussion ensued.
  • We discussed Tanise's attempt at prose. (Way to break boundaries!) Discussion ensued.
  • We read Becky's attempt at a poem. Discussion ensued.
  • We read Becky's draft of a story. Discussion ensued.
  • We read Dan's draft of his entry for the City Lit Art of Adaptation theater festival. Discussion ensued.
  • Gena would like us each to send her six words, so she can write a sestina. So do that!
  • If you want to enter the City Lit Art of Adaptation Festival, move fast--entries must be postmarked no later than Friday, May 31st!
  • If you're ever looking for writing contests to enter, check out Poets & Writers' website--they have an excellent directory.
  • Printers Row Lit Fest is coming up soon, June 8-9! Who wants to go? It's always a wonderful time.
Our next meeting will be Tuesday, June 11th. See you then!

Minutes! 5-7-13

Happy Spring, everyone. Here's what you missed:
  • In keeping with this month's "breaking out of your boundaries" theme, Raphael wrote a sex scene. And it was great! Discussion ensued.
  • We read a scene from Tanise's screenplay. Discussion ensued.
  • We read more of Becky's story from the previous meeting. Discussion ensued.
Our next meeting will be Tuesday, May 28th at 7:30 p.m. at Becky's. (It should have been the 21st, but Becky's out of town and Raphael has a play, etc.) See you then!
