- We read two pieces of Jane's flash fiction. Discussion ensued. Interesting ideas: can a flash piece be a good beginning for a longer story? Does shaking someone's hand feel like a boob?
- We decided Jane should write a book of short stories that are descriptions of body parts until she cobbles together a sort of Frankenstein person.
- Gena recommended The Book of Beginnings and Endings. It's exactly what it sounds like--just the beginnings and endings of stories.
- We read the second half of Chapter 4 of Becky's novel. Discussion ensued. Interesting idea: does using a brand name in your story make it too dated?
- Becky now has a year's subscription to Writer's Digest, so if you want to borrow an issue or something, let her know.
- Gena started a blog in which she will write a letter to you if you give her a topic. Check it out!
- Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, June 5th, 7:30 p.m. at Becky's apartment.
That's all for now. See you next time!
