In attendance: Andrew, Pam Gonzalez, Bernardo Gonzalez, Judy
Personal Sharing: Andrew shared that he got a new apartment. Pam and
Bernardo shared they just celebrated 7 years of marriage on July 7th.
Business: Judy discussed a course she is taking that Andrew had shared with the group
via email. The course was offered on Groupon and is called "Write Story
Books for Children". Judy showed us the course using her laptop and
heartily recommends it. The course is regularly offered for $500 but through
Groupon, it was being offered for $19.95. The website address of the course is www.writestorybooksforchildren.com.
Pam passed around a handout that was an article about the pros for authors
utilizing Google+ to promote themselves and their books.
Judy suggested we check our emails, as she has been sending us regular
updates.
Andrew read two poems he's written: "Three Pots" and "The
Pot of Beauty". He also did some illustration work to go with the poems.
Bernardo read more of "Red & Fred" which lead to a group
discussion about using description in writing.
The group had a discussion about not force-rhyming poems when writing.
The group ended the meeting shortly after 8:00 p.m. with several members
saying they were going to look again at the course "Write Story Books for
Children".
