Members Present: Karen, Luneil, Patty, Pete, Ruthann, Valia
Guest: Jane
Pete did a show and tell of his recently published
books of two of his poems, The Tall Man and
King of the Hill through Penit!
Publications, LLC. He explained the
process of publication from layout, purchasing pictures for the books, Amazon,
and sales. All proceeds from the books go to Riley Children’s Hospital and to a
friend with cancer.
Ruthann discussed Boopy. There was some discussion
on a new viewpoint for Boopie. Ruthann liked the ideas and Karen suggested she
let Boopy do the ‘talking.’
Valia read three of his poems previously published
in various publications, “Meditation” “Companions of the Storm” and “So I could
Flow.” He also talked about ways to rewrite his “Quartz” story. He feels he
needs a catchy story, such as a war or other hook to interest the reader.
Pete’s book gave him a few new ideas.
Jane read her poetry about a walphin, a cross
between a whale and a dolphin. The poets in the group offered ideas for
improvement, such as research on this and other crossbred species. Jane was
very pleased with the help and concepts.
Luneil read the next chapter about Barty. There was
talk of having Barty’s human be a…girl! There was a lot of laughter as she read
his tale and it was unanimous, everyone loves Barty.
Karen read the next chapter in Mac’s story, “Ghost
Lesson’ now in first person, present tense. She received great reviews and Patty
said it was fuller and so much better. Pete and Valia talked about Mac’s age
and how he came across in the story.
Patty read next chapter in Vienne’s saga. She is
always very grateful for corrections and help. She and Karen are participating
in Camp NANO. You could say they are trying to work out the bugs, while they
stay up all night writing.
Next Meeting: August 9, 2017 at 6:30 at Rosati's
