Members Present:
Helena, Jackie, Judy, Karen, Luneil, Patty, Rachael, Ruthann, Valia
Members met at Clarendale in Schererville for a Christmas /
holiday party. Everyone brought a dish, dessert, drink, and/or appetizer. Earlier
in the month Judy suggest members also bring “a gift of words” to the
gathering.
Patty reported her editor Esther had her story for 6 weeks.
She has also heard from a few publishers that she submitted to. Patty then read
her tribute “The Magic Hour” and said some pretty amazing things about our
group.
Rachael’s 2nd book in the One Kindness at a Time series won a Readers’ Favorite 5 stars
award. She will bring copies of her first and second book to the next meeting.
Karen sold 12 of her The
Medal With a Heart book at the Indiana Historical Society in Indianapolis
at an author’s fair. The book launch went well also. Karen then read a poem she
wrote about writers.
Valia read two poems: “Grandfather” and “Fabrics That Carry
Us”.
Judy read “I Walk in Beauty,” a Navajo prayer/song. She
reads the prayer often and it has helped her keep her focus.
Helena read A Gift of
Promise, inspired by her friends from MHW who encouraged her to send her
story to them when she needed some critique.
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! See you in 2019!
