2-8-23 Zoom meeting
Members Present: Jackie, Judy, Karen, Patty
Members decided to change meeting to 3rd
Wednesday of the month.
Karen read The Beast in the Breadbox, a poem about her pet
cockatiel. She plans to submit it to Cricket, a children’s magazine. Karen
reported she finished Ivy and reached out to an old acquaintance who ended up
encouraging her to send her manuscript in again, now that her story has been
revised several times and has evolved over the years.
Patty read Chapter 3 of The Iron Ladies and will send out Chapter
2 to the group.
Judy participated in a workshop about how novels are born.
She confessed she gets wrapped up with the characters and is fine up to a certain
point but then has problems developing the rest of the story. Members plan to
help her brainstorm to get over her writer’s block.
Next Meeting: March 15, 2023 at Rosati's in Schererville at 6:30pm
