Minutes! 4-24-12

Another tiny meeting this evening. Y'all better come next time or I'll start to get worried! (I have no idea why I chose to say "y'all" there.) Anyway, here are the minutes:

  • We read Chapter 7 of Glenn's story. Discussion ensued.
  • We also discussed the end of Chapter 6 of Glenn's story. (For real, people, we need to start commenting online.)
  • We read Chapter 3 of Becky's story. Discussion ensued.
  • We read Leta's story. She joined us on G+, and discussion ensued.
  • Becky informed the group that Chicago-based Wildclaw Theatre is hosting a radio play contest called "Deathscribe." They are looking for 10-minute horror radio plays; their favorites will be produced live and turned into a podcast. The deadline is July 31st. Full details can be found on their website
  • Our next meeting will be May 8th at 7:30 p.m. at Becky's.
That's about it. Maybe if the weather is nice enough next time we can hold the meeting on Becky's deck...

See you there!

Minutes! 4-10-12

Here's what you missed:
  • We read the first section of Joe's novel. Discussion ensued, and comments will be emailed to him since he wasn't at the meeting.
  • We read Meghan's story. Discussion ensued.
  • We read the next chapter of Glenn's novel. Discussion ensued.
  • We read the next chapter of Becky's novel. Discussion ensued.
  • We have officially decided that "noveling" is now a verb.
  • Since so many of our members are noveling now, let's all try to comment more online using the Google Group. That way people won't be receiving feedback on only the first halves of their chapters! 
  • C2E2 is this weekend, and there are lots of panels about writing/story creating. Even though it's mostly about writing comics, it will still probably be helpful. Becky, Meghan, and Glenn are all going. Hope to see some more of you there as well!
  • Two of Becky's stories are going to be published in a horror flash fiction anthology later this year! More details to follow as the publication date draws nearer. 
  • The next meeting will be Tuesday, April 24th at 7:30 p.m. at Becky's apartment.
And that's about it. It was a relatively tiny meeting this week. Hope to see more of you next time!
